I drank the Mountain Tea version from a swap and really disliked it. This time around I tried different steeping parameters which eventually came down to 7 second steeps. Normally, I never ever steep an oolong under 15 seconds but this one is just super strong. The roast gets too powerful if steeped longer than 10 seconds and the texture becomes dry. I like the buttery after taste when kept at low times, yet this still isn’t a tea that I like. It might provide a strong cup of tea with nutty remarks and a great texture (while lasting a long time) but it just isn’t my cup of tea. This is something I would suggest someone try though because for the amount it steeps it is a bargain. The mineral notes are a little upfront too like an oolong can be :)

Thanks for the warning. I’ll try this with shorter steeps than normal.
