From IDEStea

If you are new to Taiwanese Oolong Tea, or a tea connoisseur, you will definitively enjoy the classic High Mountain Oolong Tea that maintains light flowery aroma and sweet taste. It gives smooth mouthfeel and lasting aftertaste. Our high mountain oolong tea grows at the high altitude of 4000 feet (1,200 meters) and is carefully hand-picked to ensure superior quality. High Mountain Oolong Tea is also a perfect starting tea to experiment with oolong tea blending, ensuring one of the best quality bases without too much of distinctive flavor.

mmm this is a really nice lightly roasted oolong with no metallic or mineral notes. Some grain and malt notes, a slight bit of creamy flavour (similar to Jing Xuan/milk oolong). I accidentally oversteeped it and it still came up sweet and not bitter.

One of the teas I still have from the apparently now defunct IDEStea. Pretty solid green Taiwanese oolong. Doesn’t get too vegetal or chlorophyll tasting. It does better with 185F than boiling. It starts off with mostly floral notes, but at about three steeps in picks up a pleasant melon aftertaste. The body is silky and smooth. Towards the end of the session, the melon note becomes more cucumber.

Flavors: Cucumber, Floral, Honey, Melon, Sweet

Cream, radish, spinach, carrots, it’s an interesting creaminess though, like whip cream, it’s pretty sweet, cucumber, what’s more though is that after the beginning, it’s really boring. It’s exactly what you think of when you think of oolongs. It’s a solid tea, pleasant, very drinkable, but yeah it’s not interesting, it’s definitely aptly described by idestea.

Flavors: Carrot, Cream, Spinach
