I bought this tea quite a while ago, and because it was so expensive I tried to only have it when I knew I could steep it at least three times (hoping to get “my money’s worth”). Sadly, that led me to neglect this tea, not using it while it was at its freshest…
I LOVED this when I first got it, but when I had it last week I found it a little sharp. I recently tried Teavana’s Phoenix Mountain Oolong, which is smooth and relaxing. It could be that this has aged a little too much, or my taste has simply become more refined with time (I bought this soon after I began exploring loose-leaf tea).
