Here are the spoils. The tea is on the mild and minerally side of the rock oolongs. It has a beautiful amber color and a nice smell reminiscent of a cool mountain mist. I didn’t rinse the leaves but the first and second cups were very similar so I wouldn’t say it’s necessary. The tea started off with absolutely no sweetness, only a soft and clean tea flavor without any vegetal or brothy components, and a nice finish. As I kept going there was a hint of sweet grassiness that arose as the leaves started letting go of it, but it never lost that refreshing mountain spring water aspect that was very strong from the beginning. Compared to other rock oolongs I’ve had I would say this one is comparable, although not in league with the best rock oolongs to be had. definitely a fairly high quality tea.
Thanks again to the anon who financed this, even if it is an elaborate shill. The quick shipping was a pleasant surprise
