On first smell, the dry tea smells a bit woody, almost like a black tea to me. I had to double check to see if it was a black tea or an oolong. It smells heavily roasted.
The first sip of the brewed tea really made me think of a black tea. But as it cooled, it became much more of a heavily roasted oolong. It was kind of woody, but also sweet grass. Smooth but bold at the same time. There was a slight sweetness to it, almost like flower nectar but very subtle. This is how I like my oolongs.
Thanks Tigress Al for this in our swap!
