Very interesting tea. It has a lightly green smell that's pleasant. Unfortunately, I overbrewed the first tea slightly, so it had a slight bitterness. But the kind of bitterness that I imagine people who like bitterness would actually enjoy. I overbrewed it because it looked pale and thin and seemed to diffuse rather slowly. The second cup, brewed more briefly, was more enjoyable for me.
Overall, I think it's quite nice. It reminded me of a light green jasmine tea -- just a hint of flowery aroma and taste in what tastes more like a green tea than an oolong to me.
