I won’t rate this as I don’t think I let it steep long enough. (2:45min). Scent when dry is fruity but not in an overpowering way, quite delicate, maybe a slight floral note as well. It’s probably my first oolong other than a quick taste of ginseng oolong at a tea shop last weekend. I only have 1 sample (can resteep as it’s meant to be for 2 cups). The taste was just too delicate/weak the way I made it. Half teaspoon of brown sugar didn’t help it along. Ah well. I’d like to be able to buy larger samples of tea without having to buy tins or 100g bags of tea. That way I can experiment a bit before reviewing.

Flavors: Floral, Fruity
