I don’t often drink roasted oolongs, but I was curious about the plum notes that some people mentioned about this tea. Oolongs with any non-citrus fruit notes are my weakness! I ended up being able to taste light plum notes in my first three gongfu steeps, so I’m happy with this tea.
Dominant flavor notes: plum, chocolate, cinnamon
Secondary flavor notes: malt
Roastiness: medium
This is pretty good for a roasted tea, good for days when I just want a strong oolong. I don’t know if I’d buy it again since I’m not a heavy roasted oolong drinker, but if I wanted a roasted oolong, I’d buy this first.
Flavors: Chocolate, Cinnamon, Malt, Plum
