The striking thing about this tea, believe it or not, is its simplicity.
Indeed it does have some complex attributes, but it is a very easy drinker. The characteristics I liked about this tea were the stone fruit and citrus notes. The roasted quality added some personality to the tea as well, although to my tastes it was a bit much for a green oolong like this. The texture is fairly brothy and buttery. I have noticed an astringency to it depending on how I brew it, but overall it is velvet smooth.
This is a great tea to start out learning about oolongs, as well as a simple pleasure for long time drinkers of tea. The price is a steal, and the quality is decent.
