From Hello Teatime (AliExpress)

This kind of tea is different from the traditional charcoal baked tie guan yin.It is very light charcoal baked.So it has flower flavor and a little green tie guan yin tea flavor.

If you like light baked oolong tea,and like gentle flavor than Da Hong Pao,don’t miss it!

Another little packet I ordered from Hello Teatime last 11/11. I was hopeful when I smelled the dry leaf – it was sweet, like a lightly burnt sugar. After a rinse, the scent was more prominently roasty, with a bit of an underlying fruity sweetness – almost like red wine.

Unfortunately, once I got to tasting the tea, it only disappointed. A lot of the characteristics I sometimes get in Tie Guan Yin that makes me think it’s not one of my favorite styles of tea. The flavor started off nice and bready, but very light. Against my expectations, the flavor didn’t really start to pick up anymore after the first steep. I started to get some really unpleasant sourness on the finish, magnified as the tea cooled a bit. I get that more often in green TGY than roasted. Other than that, the flavor was pretty flat. There was sometimes a nice grassy sweet aftertaste, but it didn’t last long and was usually overshadowed by the sourness.

This one may not be as well baked, also, I found that this one is the type of oolong that I buy I forget about it for about a year and it actually tastes better. I’m not sure what it is about the processing that makes the taste (when recently made) taste off to me. If you have enough store it away and see if later it is a bit better.

These usually smell better than they taste when new. You should get lots of caramel and nutty/roasty hay notes. I recommend trying one from Yunnan Sourcing, preferably one that has some age to it already.
