      This tea has a nice, earthy smell and flavor and the rich, smooth taste persists as the tea cools. I steeped for 3 minutes at 200 degrees. My second steep had just as much flavor as the first!

      Toasty toasty tea! I love oolongs with a bit of a toastyness to them, and the color is so beautiful. But beneath the smoke, there's a faint fruitiness. Delicious.
