The price for this was a little high but you get a nice quantity as well. This should have lead me to believe the quality of the tea. This oolong is not horrible but it is nothing all too great either. I use it as my everyday oolong. It has a very nice floral aroma and brews a brilliant green. The image pictured on the website does not even come close to matching. The tea is tightly rolled with stems in every few bundles. It is a brilliant emerald green with forest green spottings. The leaves unfurl into crumbled green masses. Few bundles are whole leaves, mostly broken up. The taste is grassy with a hint on granite. It starts out nice and sweet but leaves a bitter taste that is hard to place. I try cleansing the tea a few times before ingesting and that seems to help. If you want a large quantity and don’t mind budging on quality, this is the oolong for you.

Bio

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
