I only really got into oolong after trying this one. Prior to it, oolong's signature aftertaste was consistently a turnoff. This one is a different matter entirely. It's intensely citrusy, but somehow not overwehlming; makes for a great entry level oolong, after which you are ready to wander into more traditional kinds. I had hard time coming up with the mood description for this one, because while it has rich and distinct flavor it also has a strong relaxing effect. If the word “confident” can be used to describe tea, that would be the case. A not-to-miss when checking out David's Tea
Comparison with relatives:
It is rather hard to compare this one, since it stands out from both oolongs and citrus-flavored teas; it has too much personality of its own. Personally it did inspire me to try other types of oolong, and so far ginseng wulong from Cha Guan was an awesome discovery.
