Sipdown of this too :( This is such a dark oolong that when I first had it I was convinced it was black tea and steeped it accordingly (in boiling water), and it tasted like black tea too. Then when I realized my error, I tried cooler water, but that actually was the REAL mistake. The tea turned out quite weak and meh. Of course I could have saved myself all this trouble by reading the directions, which clearly stated both that it was oolong and that it needed 205 F, but SOME of us only skim directions, and by skim I mean glance in the general direction to ascertain that directions are there without actually absorbing a word. Anyway, I finally figured it out (now that the tea is all gone). This tea is deliciously dark, rich, and raisiny when prepared properly, and utterly flat otherwise.
