This is a nice tea, but it tastes more like a black tea than any oolong I am used to. There are no grassy or vegetal notes. Certainly no roasted notes. If anything it has a malty and slightly sweet characteristic that tastes like a Darjeeling second flush black tea.
I brewed this one time in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 190 degree water for 3 minutes.
Preparation

I’ve found oolongs from India and Kenya seem to taste like black teas. I’m not sure what contributes to this (heavily based on varietal, maybe?) because one would expect the difference in processing to produce a different result from the fully oxidized black.
sounds like my kind of oolong haha
