Have had better Nepalese Oolongs |
10/31/2020 |
| Not there as far as Oolongs go. This particular batch never seemed to hold flavor or aroma past the original steeping. Water temp is best between 195 to 200 degrees with a steep time between 4 to 5 minutes. Tried steeping at both times and both temps, but couldn't really nail the perfect time or temp. Was really looking forward to this tea, but cannot in good conscious recommend this tea. |

Exceptional |
5/20/2020 |
| This is top-notch tea. Brews to a medium-pale color. Body is medium-light. Aroma is delightful: soft and complex; I get notes of honeysuckle and dried fruit. Flavor is sweetish and very smooth, a touch of astringency/pucker on the finish that adds complexity and keeps you coming back for another sip. Gives some vegetal flavors on the finish in addition to aromas above. Can stand up to a couple of steepings. |

| This oolong brews a beautiful medium bodied floral cup. Reminiscent of a warm spring day. |

Hard to define |

| This oolong is immediately distinguishable by its aroma, which is one of the most pleasant and unique of any oolong I've tried. It's flavor is much more difficult to describe. It is slightly sweet, and not quite as delightful smelling as before infusion. It's also a lighter brew, so those looking for bolder oolong would do to try the China offerings. I would categorize this as an 'advanced' tea drinkers oolong - if your palate is experienced with them, you'll enjoy a lot of subtle flavors and aromas. The presentation of this tea is exceptional. |

Intriguing |
10/5/2019 |
| This is a tea like one I have not tasted before. It has a sweetness at the beginning which I like, but is followed by a subtle Pu-her taste which was unexpected. It might just be my taste buds and I would be interested in hearing from others if they experienced the same.
The second time brewing I missed that sweetness in the beginning but would purchase it again as it is intriguing indeed. |

Smooth subtle tea |
7/26/2019 |
| This tea has a subtle sweet flavor profile. While it does have some characteristics of oolong, it steeps and has a weight more similar to a white tea to me. This is much lighter in taste than a China or Taiwan oolong, but for those who enjoy white tea, this is a great option.
The advice of steeping for 3-4 minutes was good advice. Many oolongs only need 2 minutes, but this oolong definitely needs the extra steep time. Multiple infusions work very nicely. |
