This was the second aged oolong that I drank yesterday and it was the first to disappoint me.
Water hit 90c and I was ready to start the session. Washed the leaf briefly and the aroma hit me…. no :(
I ended up sipping and throwing out six steeps. This tea taste like dirt to me, just like cheap ripe pu’erh taste like.
I’m hoping that others may enjoy this though because I tried 10s, 15s, 30s, 45s… nothing worked. I don’t think it was the 90c water, amount of leaf, or timing. Can’t always have a great cup I suppose.

Interesting… I have the 1994 version and it is really good. I will try this soon.
I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong… maybe it just isn’t my cup of tea.
