Wow, interesting coldbrew.
1 tsp leaf, 500 mL cold water. This doesn’t steep well cold. It was very light and the pearls didn’t open up very well. I think a longer steep (306 hours) would produce a much more flavourful brew.
My immediate thought was raisins and brown sugar. Molasses, lighted roasted, fruity (apricot and navel orange), sweet. Normally when I get molasses and roasty flavours I expect the slight bitterness associated with burnt sugar or buckwheat, but this tea has no bitterness.

Rolled oolongs don’t open up for me either. Try hot steeping for 1 minute prior to cold steeping. This gives the leaves enough time to unfurl and extracts better flavor. Learned this tip from the Mei Leaf and it works well with rolled oolongs.
Good to know, thanks!
