It has a lovely creamy taste, while also being nice and flowery. It has a very warm flavour, it's nice and sweet too. It's good for lots of steepings and has a bright yellowish green colour.
I'm sometimes afraid I won't be able to distinguish new light oolongs I buy from others that I already have, but this one is distinct. It's clearly milky which sets it apart from more fresh and "bright" ones and it's softer than Tieguanyin. (However, when I used too much leaf, it did get that sharp metallic tang that I don't really like about Tieguanyin. But that was just my mistake.)
The price is quite all right for such a decent light oolong, however I was not able to buy less than 100 g in the physical store (in Brussels), while the site allows you to buy 50 g or even a 10 g sample. €13.90 for 100 g is not that bad (I am at times willing to pay €20 for 50 g of a really good tea), but 100 g is just more than I need.
