Tasting Notes
Starts off like a dark oolong tea, with watery sweetness, bright flowery notes, and an enlivening feel that I get from many ZSL Teas. After 4th steep more fruity, nutty and herbal. Also a tad dry at times. Overall low bitterness (which can be nicely controlled with water temperature). Pleasing drinker also for guests
What it feels like
Enlivening and bright. Like sun clearing the November sky.
