Thank you LiberTEAS for this Sample!
It is difficult for me to ignore the complete complexity of this tea. At first sip, you discover a very smooth liquid with no bitterness and a range of sweet fruity notes. Fresh sun-dried raspberries is my first impression, but this quickly changes to a very distinct fresh squeezed mango flavor.
I find this tea to be very delightful and refreshing. This will become one of my near future purchases, as I feel this would be a nice addition to my growing collection of oolongs.
I have decided to ONLY work from my YET TO BE SIPPED Pile today! This means for the rest of the (work) day I will be logging all NEW TO ME Teas. I will choose them at random and will NOT cheat! It’s going to be a complete MIXED BAG! The good, the bad, the UGLY! LOL
Anyhow…as for this tea…
Dry It’s smells like a natural greener oolong with natural fruity notes. Beautiful Aroma!
The flavor is…vegetal and crusty tasting, a little herbally, a little woodsy and earthy, even. It has a gourmet type taste that is really interesting. It’s quite hardy! The after taste is a mix of herbs and flowers.
I also do that sometimes, set myself a goal for tea testings. But it’s hard not to cheat, there’s always a favorite of the moment to come across and it’s too hard to resist! Good luck!!
I hear ya!!!! I usually do cheat – but – so far today – I have been plugging a long! :)
This is a wonderful and unique Oolong – Unique because it’s from Indonesia and this is my first time sampling an Oolong from Indonesia (at least, I believe so). It is also unique in aroma – very fruity and floral, it almost smells as though it has been flavored or at least scented with fruit as the aroma is so strong. The brewed tea has a softer fruit and flower fragrance with a vegetative overtone.
The flavor is smooth and vegetal while at the same time, it is sharp and floral. The fruit tones do not emerge until later infusions. The vegetative flavors are earthy and herbal, with an herbaceous tone that lingers in the aftertaste. A strong astringency at the start which tapers off as I continue to sip, and in subsequent infusions it continues to wane.
A remarkable Oolong, I’m so thrilled I had this opportunity to try it.
