My husband and I tried this for the first time today. Shiuwen from Floating Tea Leaves in Seattle included a sample of this oolong in my order. I like the appearance of the dry leaves and it's fun to watch them uncurle beautifully and gradually during each infusion.
The brew is light golden yellow and has a sweet taste and very smooth. The color turned out lighter than the color of Shiuwen's liquor I saw on her website. Hers is more amber. Maybe I didn't brew it right or I used less leaves than I was supposed to? But I really liked the taste and that's what matters most.
We were able to enjoy consistent flavor and aroma during the first 8 infusions. After that the flavor and aroma started to fade gradually. Then it's my plants' turn to enjoy the 9th and 10th infusion of this oolong.
