1800 tasting notes

I’ve put off purchasing this for awhile. I just couldn’t justify the price (and buying 2 full ounces) without having tried it. I finally caved and used a frequent steeper redemption to get it. I’m so disappointed that I waited so long. It’s perhaps one of my favorite straight oolongs that I’ve ever tried. It has a true lychee flavor, and I can’t believe there’s no flavoring in it. It has a slight mineral taste at the end, which rounds the lychee flavor out nicely. I slurped down a full cup pretty quickly.

Flavors: Lychee, Mineral
