One of the best teas in its class of Oolongs. And what I want to know is how? I have no idea how the same leaf and species can produce such wildly different flavors, but this is all butterscotch and cream. From the same leaf that gives me floral and honey, smoke and peat in other Oolongs. It’s amazing. I’ve dedicated my largest Yixing to its wonders.
Oh, and as for Mandala? There aren’t many vendors I can say I trust, but between the love notes they personally write to customers, the consistent quality of the tea, the way they take care of their growers, and all the research they do to… they’ve won me over.
