It a bit surprising how resilient this tea is to high water temperatures, especially given how green this particular oolong is. I steep this tea three times (2nd @ 3:00, 3rd @ 3:45) before I got bored with it – three seems to be my limit for most oolong teas, although that Jade Teapot Tie Kwan Yin sample managed to keep my interest for longer.

I haven’t written a review for it yet, but the Jade Teapot sample of green TGY I got was freaking magical. Four Seasons seemed so overpriced and weak in comparison.
It does, I totally agree. In yo face Samovar! ;P
