Swallows Nest

Rock Oolong of Rou Gui leaves

Leaves got crushed in shipping, so taste may not representative.

Taste
  • Extremely strong (probably because the leaves got a bit crushed in shipping)
  • Tastes like a whiskey barrel without the alcohol
  • Slight fruity notes
  • Some herbs
  • Maybe even a hint of cinnamon?

Usually I'm not a fan of oolong-teas, but I actually quite like this one. The usual taste of plain roasted leaves is transformed into something akin to a whiskey barrel, which creates a rich and layered taste. Good tea, may buy more.
