Thank you Angel at Teavivre for this sample. This tea was good, I really enjoyed it. It had an incredible strawberry flavor but you knew you were drinking an oolong. The second flavor was that characteristic oolong flavor but it was mild, a barely perceptible roasted barley flavor. They go very well together. There was virtually no bitterness to this tea and no astringency or sour flavor. This was good tea. I will have to buy it the next time I place an order at Teavivre.

While I add sugar to most tea, I made a point of tasting this without sugar. It was very sweet on its own, almost but not quite like it was made with sweetener in the tea. It was that sweet.

I steeped this five times in a 220ml gaiwan with 6.9g tea leaf and 190 degree water. I steeped it for 15 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, and 1 min. The tea did not appreciably weaken by the fifth steeping but I have had enough tea despite how good it is.

Flavors: Strawberry, Sweet

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 0 min, 15 sec 6 tsp 7 OZ / 220 ML

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
