This is such a fantastic tea! The dry leaf consists of long slender black and dark emerald curls. It has a dry grape scent. I warmed these up in my gaiwan and brewed them gongfu. I didn’t even have to open my gaiwan to take in the aroma. My tea room was filled with a smooth smoke and raspberry aroma with every shake of the vessel. It was a deep and intoxicating smell. I washed the leaves once and brewed away. The liquor was a pale and opaque orange. The flavor was so very delicious. The initial sip was smokey with dark fruits. This flavor broadened to a dark cherry wood with a full bodied sweetness. I absolutely love roasted oolongs and this is one of the good ones.
