There are huge apricot chunks in the mix and they smell incredible. I did a quick rinse of the leaves and then steeped it up midway between the recommended times and this tea is so tasty. The oolong stays in the background and doesn’t have that mineral taste. The apricot is present and becomes more apparent as the tea cools. There’s a subtle floral flavour as the tea goes from lukewarm to cold.
The second steep is still quite flavourful as well!
1st steep 4.5 minutes
2nd steep 6 minutes

My order has not shipped yet but I think this is one of the 10 I picked out?? I’ve never had apricot in a tea (or if I have I don’t remember) and I enjoy that flavor and I enjoy oolong teas so apricot + oolong sounds right up my alley….
