This one was a (failed) attempt to broaden hubby’s oolong spectrum, and has been a bit of a moving target for me as well. It gets great reviews and I really want to like it!
This morning’s attempt has probably been the best so far, and of course, I was bleary while prepping it in my toasTEA thermos, so I couldn’t tell you steep time or temp to save my life. It smells as toasty as a good Assam, and that toastiness leads the procession this morning. To me, anyway, there’s some fruitiness in the mix with any oolong—-except this one. I’m getting (and now that I think about it, probably did previously) green veggies at the tail end of each sip. Little bitter. But sometimes your tastebuds need a good talking to.
I’ll keep trying.

It sounds so promising until the end!
Second steep forthcoming. We’ll see.
Interesting—there was almost none of the vegetable whang in the second steep, and now that I have let it go stone cold, it’s nothing but toast. May have to set this aside and try cold steeping come spring.
Fascinating!
