I bought this tea last year and again this year. This batch is as good as the last. It has a light yet complex flavor. I enjoy hot tea on a cool morning.
I love the peachy-floral quality of a good phoenix oolong. This one is even better than my current mid-priced phoenix oolong.
I’ve had to play around with brewing this tea to achieve excellent results. Following the instructions to the letter and using the right equipment brew an incredible cup of tea. I, fortunately, ordered a large amount of this and I’m quite pleased. Thanks for such wonderful tea leaves.
We enjoyed this oolong. Brewed out gong fu for many steeps. Nice honey aroma of dry leaf. Clear yellow liquor color.
I have been enjoying this first thing in the morning. It’s quite nice.
