Tasting notes and thoughts:
Surprisingly, this tea was not as sweet or as fruity as I expected it to be. Before I brewed it, the oolong had a very strong tangerine or orange smell, and I expected it to taste as such. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I started tasting it- rather than having a super strong fruit taste (like Momo Oolong Super Grade), it had mostly a floral taste (somewhat similar to rose tea). The tangerine taste isn't too overbearing or strong, combines well with the floral flavor of the tea, and adds a nice aftertaste. I would recommend this tea on its own or iced, since its sweet enough to not warrant added sweetener. Overall, this tea is a nice combination of floral and tangerine taste, with great leaves (gotta love balled oolong, which looks great when it unfurls).
