Light steep; I taste/smell:
(smell) light. —> floral, toasty, nuts(?).
(Taste). Light -→ Milk(?), raw nuts, toasty, sea water, metallic (iron), cashews(?), peanuts(?).

Medium steep; I taste/smell:
(Smell) slight floral.
(Taste) light metallic(copper?). light to medium —→ peanuts, cashews, toasty, metallic (iron), roasted nuts, sea water(?).

Heavy steep; I taste/smell:
(Smell) little to no floral.
(Taste) light —> metallic (iron? Copper?), nuts (peanuts? Cashews?). Medium -→ roasted nuts, toasty, floral.

Al in all one if the best roasted oolongs I’ve ever tried! I rate a 95/100. Nice tastes/aromas, nice cha qi. Nearly if not impossible to over brew IMHO.

I suggest you try it!
