I went lazy western brewing with this and used a brew basket. Somewhat sacrilegious, I know, but I was more surprised how good it still was. Plus one to forgiving teas!
Like the Laoshan Black, this is so rich and cocoa-y, with lots of layers of honey. I think this is lighter and even slightly sweeter than the black, though. It definitely has some of the yeasty bread notes I associate wih roasted oolongs again.
I don’t know if I’d have them both in my cupboard together again, but if I ever wanted a change from the LB, I’d grab this is a heartbeat.
