One of a group of 4-5 rock oolongs I received in a sample pack from Seven Cups. Actually, this one was quite flavorful considering it was only about $6.00 an ounce or so on the website. Very strong roasted, yet aromatic bouquet, and a stronger flavor than the other rock oolongs I have tried so far. It really tastes like a Darjeeling almost. One of the few so far I might consider repurchasing since it is inexpensive and fairly tasty. Good for more than one steep too. Long finish with buttery notes.
