I tried this yesterday, too, a cup at the store. I meant to ask for High Mountain Oolong (oops) but she gave me both cups anyway.

Neither me or the wifey really liked this, though – reminded me of peach juice .. the kind made with instant drink crystals.. glad you like it though! :)

The first time I made this, the water was too hot, and I ended up with soapy, slightly bitter hot peach juice. Once I got the temp right, each pot seems better and better.

How is DT’s High Mountain Oolong? I’m mad for oolongs at the moment.

We both thought the High Mountain Oolong was excellent – I’m no oolong expert but I would definitely consider drinking it on a regular basis, if the price weren’t so steep.. no pun intended, haha. I really like to buy my tea there by the tin, but maybe I’ll get a small bag of that some time.

DT’s oolongs are pretty pricey. I can get Quangzhou milk oolong at my local indie shop for quite a bit less (and it’s identical). At least oolong can steep two or three times.
