Great daily drinker yancha. Aromas of chocolate/syrup, caramel, blood orange tone, marshmallow, dark wood and raspberry/blackberry. Thick mouthfeel but light and refreshing with a playful bitterness, strong mouthwatering effect and camphor throat feeling. Vibrant, lively flavor that’s mineral sweet with a complex fruity aftertaste. Doesn’t present its full palate within the first few steeps unlike a lot of rock oolong. I seek that quality in this style of tea though others may prefer full flavor in the first or second infusion.
This tea proved to me that you can accidentally blend two cultivars and create a concoction that is steps above huang guan yin or qi lan on their own.
Lucky Accident is something Old Ways Tea should consider adding to their usual catalog as a fantastic value rock oolong (it is no longer available).
