I am really fond of this tea. I purchased a small bag of this from Rishi a few months back, and have grown to really appreciate the full body with it's roasty/nutty/grainy flavors and aroma. It has sweet notes as they describe it, especially when you steep it a second or third time.
I tend to brew this Chinese style in a guiwan, using more leaf and less time than Rishi recommends--but I have also brewed this western style in my IngenuiTea from Adagio. It consistently steeps to a nice dark amber color and is really a nice darker oolong.
