Commercial Description
An absolutely spectacular dark oolong that is not readily available and subject to the whims of mother nature. A full body oolong with subtle hints of peach with notes of honey . This harvest will not last. If you love this tea, the way we do, make haste.

73 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5

Definitely my favorite bai hao (oriental beauty) oolong yet. This is not a type of oolong I generally like, but I found this to be an atypical example of its style.
Significantly roasty aroma, and flavor is bolder, although less smooth.
I am curious...is this a competition winner because it was bolder in flavor and because it had the sort of characteristics that made me like it more, giving it a more universal appeal?
Still, this tea is very expensive. I liked it a lot, but not anywhere near enough to justify the price.
