Formosa Bai Hao (Oolong #40) from Adagio Teas
86

This is a good tea. No doubt about that. I have yet to drink many different oolongs, so I will withhold any judgements.

I do get the smokiness, but I don’t get the peach described in Adagio’s tasting notes. As others have mentioned, the flavor becomes much more apparent after a longer steep. I drank it at 5, 6 and 7 minutes. 6 seemed to bring out the flavor where 7 was too long.

I drank it at 5, 6 and 7. I have yet to drink it earlier. Is that what you’d suggest?
