So I finally managed to find out the right steeping time combination for this Oolong.
I didn’t manage to fully eradicate a little astringency but I think 5 minutes are enough for this tea.
I think the tea base is just not for me. That’s weird because I am not an expert in Oolong but I’ve always read oolong teas have no astringency.
I have a complaint about the Orange blossom aroma, unfortunately I was expecting something really more present. To my opinion, there is a lack of Orange Blossom aroma in the tea (there are a lot of dried orange blossom flowers)
I was expecting a lot from this tea and I am really disappointed.
I’ll keep trying anyway… :)

have you ever had plain orange blossom tea? the dried ornage blossoms? It´s a popular (or was) tisane in Portugal and eurgh, much as I love the scent of citrus blossoms, or it on perfume, the dried blossom just does not ressemble it!
Though Mariage Freres might be (should!) making the tea with some other method than just including plain dried orange blossom!
