Taiwan Organic High Mt. Oolong Tea from FONG MONG TEA

chaijeeyah drank Taiwan Organic High Mt. Oolong Tea by FONG MONG TEA

The leaves are dark green and tightly curled. They have a subtle smell of smoke. Steeped leaves uncurl but not to the fullest. Liquid is of intense amber colour. The smell is again subtly smoked with flowery hints. The taste is mild, there is not much bitterness. There is a light floral aftertaste and a little bit od astringency. This is a simple Oolong on the black tea side, but still pretty mild.
