I liked all the tea from this month (WuyiStar), but the smoky/ roasted ones more. Sad it's all gone now.

Surprising sweetness and minerality, with distinct and pleasant aftertaste. I got a good 6-7 brews with 5g in a 110ml gaiwan before taste dropped off

Fiancée and I shared some morning tea. First of the June MTP box I've tried. Second rock oolong I've tried. I think oolong is my favorite type of tea.
