This is a lovely Yunnan … smoky, rich, earthy and sweet. Lovely malt tones. Even though the description depicts an Oolong by saying it’s partially fermented … it tastes much more like a black tea than either an Oolong or a green. I do taste a lightness to this, hay-like and sweet, but, I still find it leaning more toward the black tea type.
It’s good, a fairly strong amount of astringency toward the tail. Enjoyable. Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending me a bit of this.

Good, review. I am a fan of Mountain Rose Herbs but have not made purchase as yet. I even wanted to volunteer with them last year 2011 at their Herb festival in Oregon but no money to get there. At least I think it was them. I had submitted the paper work and sent it online to them; so they had me on paper anyhow. Always revealing of sort.
