Seems to be going toward red sweet potato in age. Still fruity as all get out, lots of baked pear. Less spice. Still sweet with that classic GABA tang which is well bridled. I strongly advocate for leafing this one heavy and doing long gongfu steeps or the method that warranted this a 100 rating — stewing for hours. Either way, it’s versatile with no bitterness and only slight drying. This GABA oolong would be great for loose leaf beginners as it can be prepared a variety of ways and at different temperatures. And for the more advanced, there’s complexity in this brew if you want to go searching.
