Medium steep: I taste/smell strong smoke. Medium —→ sweet, smoke, fruit (blueberries) wood, spices.
Heavy steep: I taste/smell; medium —→ sweet, smoke, wood, spices, fruit (blueberries).
All in all this is quite a yummy tea. It’s like a mix of oolong and black tea.
Since this is a black tea, and I’m not much for black teas, I rate a 90
i recommend this tea for those who want to try something like an oolongy black tea
Flavors: Fruity, Green, Roasted, Smoke, Spices, Sweet, Wood
it was yummy, but like i said, i’m not into black tea much :(
