Sweet with notes of rose and cedar – Tastes like how one of my shoe trees smells, but in a good way, LOL. Pleasant flavors which linger a bit. Very nice!

The leaf appearance is definitely a higher grade than the Formosa Oolong I had previously purchased from Harney and Sons, which was mechanically harvested and had lots of twiggy stuff, smaller pieces of broken leaf, and no noticeable bud material. This one has little or no twigs, larger leaf pieces and whole leaves, and even some small white buds.

Second glance, there is some twiggy stuff but not too much.

Adding to my previous review. Still loving this tea after multiple sessions. Notes of peach and chocolate in the aroma. The peach translates well into the flavors, however not so much with the chocolate. This is fine by me, as I don’t always enjoy teas with strong chocolate notes.

I love tea. Mainly Chinese teas, such as Keemuns, Shui Xian oolongs when I can find them, Yunnan golden buds, and delicate spring greens. With so many options, though, I keep trying new teas.
