This tea is really not as good as I remember from years ago. Possibly that is in part because the tea I have is a few years old (though well-stored). It has a marked minerality, and is a bit astringent and quite drying in texture. I think my initial favourable impression of it was probably due in part to its being the first loose leaf oolong I ever tried, about a decade ago now. Having tried many good oolongs since then, it no longer seems as delicious.
Flavors: Astringent, Drying, Mineral
This was the first oolong I tried and fell in love with as well. I’m not surprised it wasn’t as good as I remember.
