Huge thanks to Martin Bednář for sharing some of this with me! This is a great tea for transitional fall weather, when it’s getting a bit chilly but not freezing cold out. My impression of this tea was that it has a fairly light roast and is sweeter than most roasted oolongs I’ve had. I didn’t realize why that is until I came here to write a tasting note, though – it literally is those things. The roast is definitely noticeable, but it tends to land with some minerality at the front of the sip and fade pretty quickly into a crisp sweetness. I’m going to steep the last of this overnight and that’ll be a sipdown!

You’re welcome and I am very glad you liked it! It’s definitely roasted, but very lightly.
