A beautifully done oolong! Thanks so much to Geoff and Max for the sample of this, direct from Taiwan. As noted in the description, it is an oolong on the darker side with a complex profile. I get some sweet clover, some wheat, a bit of earthiness — there’s more, but it’s hard for me to pinpoint. The flavor’s very smooth and balanced. The rolled leaves are very dark and crinkly when unfurled, and smell quite woodsy. Excellent!

Hi Tamarindel, Max here. Glad you enjoyed the Tiger Monk. Yes, the tea master’s skills definitely translate into smooth and balanced flavor profiles, exceptional for a roasted oolong if I may say so. Good observation on your part! We’re very grateful for your review and we’d like to show our appreciation by sending a little treat your way. Look for an email from us in the next 24 to 48 hours. Cheers!
