A mouth-watering medium bodied oolong with silky and slightly powdery texture. Both the smell and the taste are dominated by roasted notes, a bit too much for my liking personally. The smell is very crisp, with some hints of cookies and figs. As for the taste, I didn’t find it overly complex. It is somewhat sweet and buttery, with a nice balanced & nutty aftertaste.

As of now, I would prefer the lighter roaster classical Dong Ding from Taiwan Sourcing. I am interested to see how this one will develop though, it surely has some potential.

Bio

Currently, I am a PhD student at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds.

I have been a fan of green tea for a while and only recently (in 2017) started exploring other kinds of tea in greater depth. I rarely drink blends or white tea and avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied. The one thing that I am currently missing in my collection are teas from India, in particular some Darjeelings.
