Thanks Tykal for the sample!
4.9g, 90mL gaiwan, Brita filtered tap.
Overall impressions based on a cursory session. definitely sticky rice in profile, but also something about it has a slight caramel note among the lightly woodsy notes. In one infusion that I smelled the wet leaf, it had a slight smoky sweet woody smell, which I’m pretty sure I still might’ve reasonably mistaken for oolong had I not seen the label. And the classic shou smell does come through eventually, though it’s pretty clean here. for one cup, the empty cup aroma is also surprisingly sweet in a roasted oolong empty cup aroma way. This was kind of boring. Thermos’d after a few steeps.
