Thanks to LiberTEAS for this sample, which I randomly picked from my box tonight.
Oh man, is this ever sweet and smooth! I’m reminded of autumn leaves and jumping in a leaf pile – some other tea I had recently reminded me of this as well. Oooh, so smooth! Aftertaste is just barely of oolong, but as I’m less familiar with darker oolongs, perhaps that’s what one gets when they move away from tieguanyins. The sweetness is delicious. Almost makes me think of raisin water, i.e. the water left after plumping up raisins for baking. It’s also kind of toasty; makes me think of genmaicha for some reason.
Ok. That was a massive jumble of random thoughts. Too lazy to organize (and still teas to try!)
This one’s pretty impressive! I definitely need to try more dark oolongs. I’m excited to see what the next infusions bring!
