I went into taking this tea very seriously.
100ml of water with 7g of leaf
What Rich said was absolutely correct which turned me off a lot. As someone who is specializing in aged oolong, this one is clearly damp/humid stored at one point which gives it some funk. Salted damp mushrooms that had a tant of old wood with moss. Not the unique and special treat I was looking for : (
Who knew that YQH had aged oolongs? They have just two, a 1970s and 1980s. I decided to take the chance and buy some. If you tried this tea blindfolded, you would probably not know what it is. To me, it tastes like a humid stored aged pu erh. The overwhelming flavor is damp, followed by some dark fruit, and a sharp huigan. It is very different than what I expected. I think his teas are all humid stored, including his oolongs, which gives it a unique flavor. It had longevity, lasting a good number of steeps. I’m not crazy about it, so I’ll put it away in my dry storage environment and see what happens after a while. If anyone is curious and wants to try it, I’m open to swaps.
