Review of Dong Ding Oolong

The aroma is lightly floral and lightly green with the usual earthiness I associate with oolongs.
The taste is slightly bitter, like a green, with hints of orange blossom and a hint of ginseng. The taste is both very pleasant and subtle.
After multiple brews the taste becomes more green and herbal and less floral which is also very pleasant.
I have seen this tea at my local Asian Market but have not gotten around to picking it up (they have a LOT of teas to try and my list is extensive) but I must certainly move this to the top!
