\n

Name: Wuyi Dark Roast Oolong<\/a><\/p>\n

Type: Oolong<\/p>\n

Region: Wuyi mountains, Fujian, China<\/p>\n

Bought At: Samovar<\/a><\/p>\n

Price: $4 for a “one pot” sample<\/p>\n

First Impressions: Dark, very earthy smell<\/p>\n

Review:<\/p>\n

The first thing that was interesting to me was that the instructions said to rinse the leaves with boiling water to “awaken” them.\u00a0 I had heard that some people do this, but have never seen it on the instructions of any before.\u00a0 Regardless, once brewed the tea was a dark cup, with a very heavily roasted smell (hence the name I suppose…)\u00a0 Given the darkness and roasted smell, I was expecting something with a fairly bitter aftertaste, not so.\u00a0 It actually was quite smooth, very full, and good.\u00a0 I was expecting a lot more powerful taste but it is actually very mellow. I also enjoyed that you could make multiple cups from the same leaves, I think it helps justify the higher cost. Overall very good, not really what I was expecting, but good!
\nMy Rating:<\/p>\n
