The dry leaves of the Wuyi Oolong smell slightly fruity and earthy. The leaves are a dark brown mix of long, rolled pieces. However, I found a lot of tiny broken pieces in this particular bag.

The liquor is a bright yellow color – it kind of looks like honey. While brewing, the aroma reminds me of a very light bodied black tea – brisk and earthy.





The tea tastes sweet and fruity. It has a pleasant grape-like flavor to it. It is definitely a blacker oolong because of the rich, dark taste. The tea is smooth at first, but it does dry out my mouth more than I care for. The fruity flavor that comes from this tea makes it more sweet than bitter.

There is not too much to say about this tea – it is very simple. It gets right to the point with its flavor. Because of the grape-like flavor, the taste reminds me of a very subtle Darjeeling.
