A darker, “brown” oolong with its own unique profile. Radish and floral notes with notes of dark chocolate and menthol. This tea is rolled and oxidized, making it an oolong, but the profile and the appearance are so unusual that the grower named it “brown tea”.

This is a strange looking brown, with some slightly silvery tip, oolong from Teenjure Cooperative in Nepal.
No real scent from the dried leaf other than generic floral. I followed the directions on Tealet’s site for the brewing and amount and the infused liquor smells divine. There is a scent of raisin and almost earl grey-ish. Honestly, if someone put this in front of me and asked me to guess, blind, what kind of tea it was I’d have put my foot in my mouth and said “earl grey”. But the taste is delicate, a subtle earl grey. It’s fantastic, and I dislike earl greys. With subsequent sips, there are hints of lemon zest and raisins too. The Tealet website states that there would be notes of daikon radish. I didn’t notice it right away but it is there. Raisin, lemony earl grey with a hint of radish! Awesome! If I could compare it to anything it would not be an oolong, but a floral darjeeling.
I might have to just get a whole bunch of this and see what I can create from it.

That sounds delicious.
Not what I would have expected from an oolong. It was really delicious.
