Grabbed this one at random from my steepster box and kind of groaned. I don’t love oolongs, but it’s what I grabbed so I made it exactly per the instructions on the bag.
The first thought upon sipping it, “holy crap, this is tasty!” It tasted like a burnt hazelnut caramel. Seriously delicious. I’ve had other red robes and they are just roasty, like hojicha. This one has some seriously yummy flavor to back up the roast. Would definitely order this if I could. Can I?

I don’t like the floral or green ones. But this one is almost like what I want coffee to taste like when I smell it and it never does. Sorry dude, this one has me a tad curious another similar ones….
Big Red Robe is my favorite oolong type. I have several, so let me know if you want samples added to your next BBBB :)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TB! don’t do it! say NOOOOOO to the oolong!
Mmmm…jealous.

not a huge fan of floral oolongs either (tho i can tolerate them if the ‘orchid’ note is slight), but did you say hojicha?? i’d much prefer something toasty…this sounds yummy! and the burnt caramel note sounds too good to pass up, wow…
