Teaism describes this tea as a ‘subtler expression’ of their standard oolong, and there’s no doubt that it is. Even 6 minutes of steeping produced only a pale greyish-green tea, with light oolong notes and a very brief finish. It may benefit from additional infusions, and would certainly work as a tea to have not too far from bedtime, but those who are looking for a more assertive oolong flavour are likely to be disappointed. All the same, the tea itself is a worthy find, and a change from the standard routine.
