I kept skeptically thinking this was just a really lightly oxidized oolong. Perhaps it is from an oolong cultivar. The rolling style is very similar to beaded oolong, and indeed the scent gives some really fresh mountain greenery notes that I’m used to in high quality high mountain oolongs. The flavor is really sweet and delightful. It definitely has a plum or cherry taste to it and hints of floral, the type you get from high mountain oolong. It’s light too, the flavor isn’t really all that strong. I might be prone to use more tea leaf if I were to make this again, but I only had one sample. This is a good oolong-lover’s green tea or for someone who doesn’t really like vegetal tasting greens.

This green is definitely very oolong tasting. I also wondered whether it was really an oolong with a green tea label slapped on it. Regardless, it’s very good.
Irrespective of the classification, it sounds really good! :-)
I thought it was really good. It was nothing like any other green tea I’ve had, which makes it weird to me to see lots of reviews saying it tasted just like a typical green tea. If anything, it really tasted more like oolong tea. I also noticed though that other people tended to steep it a lot longer.
