This is a nice, drinkable oolong on the ‘caramelized’ side of the flavor spectrum rather than the grassy. It reminds me strongly of the flavor mix of caramel/sweet one finds in some of the “sow mee white tea” I’ve bought in cans in Chinatown and from websites, and yet this is an oolong. The grassy notes come out at the end, when the tea is cooler and after swallowing. For the price, this tea was a bargain and I would order it again if putting in an order from this company. (I had originally only ordered it to make the shipping minimum and it turned out to be my second favorite in that whole order!)
Formosa Oolong Fancy Grade

“These leaves brew into a beautiful bright golden cup but its true beauty is revealed in its ethereal aroma. As you sip, you will discover delicate but luxuriant flavor notes of fresh peaches and a hint of spice with no astringency and no bitterness. This lightness and fruitiness is very surprising to those who usually associate oolong tea with the dark dull tea often served in Chinese restaurants.” —Stash website (http://www.stashtea.com/w-111004.htm)
