Earth and charcoal toastiness with a mildly bitter edge give way to fragrant spicy wood resin and subdued date-like sweetness in the aftertaste, which has staying power and continually emanates from the back of the throat. A complex and intriguing oolong that evolves as it cools.
Loose leaf tea drinker since 2006. I began with Adagio and Upton and moved on from there.
My reviews are concise and only describe flavor and texture. I avoid the 0-100 rating scale, for two reasons. First, there is no objective measure and a score of 100 for a newbie could be 70 for an experienced connoisseur. Second, users may ignore the review itself and focus solely on the score, which could lead to an unfair assessment of the tea and possibly impact the merchant’s reputation and sales.
