Huh, I know this is an oolong tea but to me it tastes like a lighter version of the darjeelings I've tried recently. The scent and taste is a little more floral in nature with a lightly baked undertone. It goes together very smoothly. Not a bad tea at all, but not as impressive to me as some others. I had to add more leaves than normal to get the intensity of flavor I wanted, and even then it was very light. The aroma of the dry leaf was more complex and intense than the aroma of the brewed tea.
