The aroma of this tea is fairly weak for a Dan Cong oolong. I can smell some cookies (especially in the dry leaf), overripe fruit (passion fruit in particular) and sometimes cheesecake. The taste is bitter and crisp, with some notes of honey and herbs. Mouthfeel wise, I also found it somewhat underwhelming. It’s quite thin, soft and slightly sticky. Astringency levels are good, maybe a little too high, but that could very well be due to my brewing not being perfect. I didn’t detect any particular cha qi.
It is definitely not a bad tea, I enjoyed drinking it. However, given the price, I cannot recommend it, especially compared to other Dan Cong oolongs from YS.
