Second go of the steepster select box. Liking this one better than the karigane. Light amber in color with a toasted/nutty aroma. Another light flavor, similarly toasty and nutty.
It is sweet, but not overpowering at all – you have to be looking for it to really notice. I’ve yet to really pick up on the coconut flavor, but this is a first infusion and folks seem to be suggesting it shines in later steepings. I am happy to report that I’m not really finding the coffee note (good, since I hate coffee). One of the first oolong I’ve really enjoyed.
