This batch of tea that was processed in the fashion of a pre-modern traditionally made Oolong really does have both Black tea and Oolong tea characteristics. It’s flavor is similar to a delicate Black tea, but it’s aroma and finish are more of an Oolong. It’s complex and refreshing like an Oolong, but with enough sweetness on the palate to be reminiscent of a Black tea.
The best results are attained by treating it like a Black tea in terms of brewing methods. Use less leaves and brew it for short intervals. This brings out the complexity without letting it become too astringent. When brewed correctly, it is smooth on the palate, with tangy fruit undertones and a clean finish. It’s this intriguing combination of character that puts this tea in the in-between zone of Black and Oolong tea.
