So excited to try this tea! The description sounds lovely. The leaves smell toasty and almost sweetly sap-like. I’m drinking extra tea lately to fuel me through the long days that come with the end of the school year. I’m going to miss these kids a lot but not the workload! Summer is so close I can taste it!
Mmmm… this tea smells good! It smells so good that I’m drinking the rinse. Is that a bad thing to do?
YUM! This is a delicious tea. I guess I’m an Oolong fan — who knew! Over and over the teas that capture my senses from Verdant have been their Oolongs. Especially this one and their spring Tieguanyin.
I’m having trouble drawing parallels to the smell/ taste of this tea. Words are failing me. The leaves are staying tightly rolled shut and producing a tea that is the color of white wine. I’m getting a slightly woody taste in the best possible way.
This tea has reinvigorated me! I was feeling depleted and ready to be done for the day, but after drinking this I think I have another hour or more in me. Is this chaqi or caffeine? Both? Who cares!
This is a fantastic tea. I almost don’t want to make another Verdant order so soon after my last one, but I really like this one! Oh, tea hoarding…

Love your review and your enthusiasm, I do understand why! Oolongs are amazing and this one particularly. I’m a die hard black tea lover, but in the past year, I have drank tons of different oolongs and I can now say they have almost surpassed my love for blacks…
Thank you for the compliment! I used to think white teas were my favorite, but I keep discovering new favorites. Oolong is amazing! I had no idea they were so complex or that green and roasted were so different.
