My first time trying Tie Luo Han, or “Iron Arhat.” It is certainly a nice tea, though this one is not as good as the other oolongs I’ve had from R&L. Nonetheless, it also has a very nice Wuyi flavor with minerality and decent complexity.
Not as much sweetness or identifiable characteristics as the Rou Gui. I’d like to sample some more of this style of Si Da Ming Cong sometime.
