The scent is so mapley and enticing. The flavor is more subtle than the smell. I get a woody, mild mapley flavor along with the base tea. I’m not a big oolong fan, so I definitely would have preferred this on a black base. I would have expected bolder flavors, and what I do taste seems like spices and flavoring that’s a bit artificial. Milk complements it well. I just wish the flavors were stronger. I don’t love oolong, but that’s the strongest flavor of all. It’s funny to see all these reviews calling it too sweet/overwhelming, when that’s the total opposite of my experience. Different tastes!
