Found this in the “Foojoy Gold” foil-packaged lineup at T&T Ginseng here in Las Vegas. I like this one quite a bit. Fig and caramel notes for sure as mentioned in a previous review, however for me the floral elements play a much more prominent role, with what I would describe as the “orchid” aroma/taste standing at the fore. Similar to the orchid note I find in many Keemun teas but in a lightly roasted and mostly green balled oolong. Very nice. At $16.50/100g it is comparable to other TKY oolongs you might find in the $60-$70/lb range. Not a super exceptional version of this tea, really, but it is a style that I really like, and definitely quite a few grades above the budget boxed version of TKY Foojoy also offers (which I also tried and it has its merits, but no comparison to this). Nice to have the option to buy only 100g and get roughly the same pricing ounce-for-ounce as if you purchased a 1-lb bag.
