Detailed Description
This is the style of brown oolong that generations of Americans loved. It was the toasty flavor that they enjoyed. Don’t worry about the stems, that is how the Taiwanese do this tea.

Each sachet brews a 12oz cup of tea
Caffeinated

Surprisingly, not impressed…usually I really enjoy Harney & Sons teas but not this one so much. I have the tea sachets for this type and maybe it’s the duration I keep the sachet in the whole time I’m enjoying my mug of tea but I find this Formosa Oolong watery and a bit too floral. I have had other Formosa Oolongs and really liked them. Luckily it does not get bitter, just a tired, watery somewhat bland and weak floral taste; the floral isn’t overpowering too much but does seem to play a mischievous cameo roll in the taste…not too pleasant. I may retry this to steep the required amount of time instead of keeping the bag in the whole time I drink…so stay tuned!
UPDATE: Still not a fave but enjoying it a little more…the parameters are still the same, haven’t changed them any because I like a strong cuppa, I guess I am just enjoying this more because maybe getting used to the taste. I do like it so my rating moved upscale; don’t know if I would buy again. I will try Harney & Sons other Oolong offerings though to compare.
