Definitely my favorite bai hao (oriental beauty) oolong yet. This is not a type of oolong I generally like, but I found this to be an atypical example of its style.
Significantly roasty aroma, and flavor is bolder, although less smooth.
I am curious...is this a competition winner because it was bolder in flavor and because it had the sort of characteristics that made me like it more, giving it a more universal appeal?
Still, this tea is very expensive. I liked it a lot, but not anywhere near enough to justify the price.
