Every once in a while I come back to this Oolong just to see if I get new hints of flavor, smell or just to plain enjoy it. It is a heavier yet soothing Oolong, I love it has malty and smoky taste to it without opaquing the chocolate, fruity and sweet notes of it.
It is a VERY forgiving tea that will allow you to enjoy multiple back to back steeps or multiples through out the day and even the next one. I never do this but I happened, after being interrupted several times I went to bed and the next day I remembered the tea still in the gaiwan… upon lifting the lid the amazing smell made me crave the brew.. and it was great.

Wow! I’ve never done a long steep so long. very nice
Well it wasting the steeping itself that was that long. Rather the used leaves were still good the next day and the brew in the morning was still delicious. I don’t know if you were referring to the same thing. I love this tea.
Aha! I /did/ read that wrong. I thought you’d left the tea steeping all night!
It has happened before with other teas including oolong… seems like a slow and painful death to a great tea. Unless its cold brewing I guess.
