This is a beautiful earthy oolong that would be perfectly enjoyed slowly, savouring the developing flavours of each sip as one relaxes. Unfortunately, I was drinking this in hurried gulps during the busiest morning of my life in the shipping/receiving part of my office duties so I didn’t really get the full impact of the first cup. I think I didn’t get the water quite hot enough, the flavor was a little weak and thin. But the second cup was glorious. It had a real rich earthy full flavor to it, a little bit of the grassiness of the first steep but much darker. Still had that vegetal green-stuff aroma that I love, but not as buttery or creamy as other oolongs. So good without being dry. Third steep is less glorious but still tasty, some of the richness starting to fade into a solid flavor closer to a “regular” straight oolong.
