This was a new variety for me, but the sweet and smooth maltiness made for a tasty cup. I’ve never tried a purple before, but I wasn’t able to notice much difference between it and the other Oolongs in my cupboard. Maybe it influenced the milder, gentler flavor, or the fruity notes? Whatever it was, it was a nice way to start the day!
