1st infusion: 4 1/4 minutes, near-boiling water
Liquor a bright amber and the smell is very floral and fruity. The taste however…while I am getting floral and fruity I am also getting smoke. Probably shouldn’t have used the yixing pot for this, this oolong is too different from the Amethyst I last used in the pot.

2nd infusion: 5 3/4 minutes, near-boiling water
The liquor is a bright honey-gold and the smoke has nearly disappeared leaving a pleasantly fruity, floral flavor.

3rd infusion: 6 minutes, near-boiling water
Whilt the liquor is the same color as before the taste is much lighter and the fruit has nearly disappeared leaving the floral note to dominate.

I’m not going to rate this until I can try it without the yixing pot.

That’s part most of why I picked it. The fact that it’s a dark oolong was a happy plus XD

I prefer loose-leaf teas but I do like to keep some tea bags around for travel. I prefer black teas (especially Yunnans), dark oolongs, and pu’erh. My #1 favorite is Jasmine Golden Yunnan from thepuriTea.com.
