63 Tasting Notes
Lifting the leaves out of its packaging was probably the highlight of this cup. Dainty flowers laced with a hint of bergamot and greener leaves. However, in drinking this tea you’re left with a neither here-nor-there feeling. Not enough “Earl Greyness” to be a good Earl Grey, and not enough floral aroma after brewing. Not a bad cup, mind you, but it left me in want of something stronger or more well balanced.
Preparation
I’m partial to oolongs of Chinese origin, especially Taiwanese, but I’ll be damned if I don’t say that this is one of the best oolongs I’ve ever had. Great brew with a light gold color and a baby-bear (juuuust right) amount of peachy flavor.
