This half ball shaped Formosa Mingjian Green Tea looks like Dongding Oolong, while maintains its none-fermented characteristics. It is lightly roasted (fired) to produce the distinct floral aroma. The tea is golden green in color, smooth and slightly sweet in taste. This is a great try as roasted Green Tea.

This is beyond satisfying! I really like this! A sweeter tasting green. Slightly floral and nutty too!

I like this tea very much. It is light and has a delicate sweetness that is quite nice. Citrus tones introduce themselves toward the end of the sip. They start tangy and end sweet. The light roasting adds definition to the beautiful floral tones of this tea. An exquisite tea!
