I like all the Yunnan teas. Steeped, this tea has a beautiful medium golden color. Slightly sweet and malty. Perfect for gong fu brewing, you can get so many steeps and enjoy all the flavor nuances. I enjoyed four steeps so far today.

This tea has long golden leaves which smell reminiscent of hay. It brews a light amber color with a sweet caramel smell. It has an astringency of juicy autumn fruit and a crisp finish. This tea is light, sweet, and lovely with a hint of sweet potato and a malty, toasty aftertaste. LOVE IT!!!

With the slight hint of Sweet Potato taste, this Oolong is a real treat!!
