Review of Tindharia Estate Oolong (DJ-54)
September 20th, 2009
| Aroma | Flavor | Value | Total |

The dry leaves have an aroma a lot more like a Darjeeling black or green tea, than like any Chinese or Taiwanese Oolongs.
The brewed tea was deep orange and very clear. Aroma is not particularly strong, mostly of asparagus. Tangy and a little bitter, but quite thin.
More bitter than Tindharia's Green Oolong, and I do like this tea a bit more, but the two teas are quite similar and both disappoint me.
