I LOVE the name of this tea company! :)
This smells like a gentle perfume dry – liquid smells a little bit like flowers from a distance.
This is very light in color.
I can taste the honey-suckle likeness and the more I drink it the better I like it. It’s very clean and crisp and thirst-quenching. YUM!

“Crisp and thirst quenching”- exactly! I think it would make a wonderful iced tea, I just don’t have a large enough amount to do it since I’m the Sample Queen.
I love oversteeping this tea on the 2nd infusion, and drinking it when the water cools to room temp by itself – Give that a try and let me know what you think
I will also be reviewing this one very soon over at SororiTEA Sisters in greater length.

I’m sending small samples to a few friends on here to help spread the word as well and half of my bag is being shipping to Anne for review as well! :)
Thanks so much, Stephen!!!
oh yeah – About the steeping.. Try letting it steep as the water goes from hot to room temp – 15 min or so, and you’ve got yourself a refreshing beyond perfect cup of Iron Goddess of Mercy
Have you tried multiple infusions for this one? I’m looking for a good oolong that will stand up to several infusions without becoming watery.
katers, I have (well Adagio’s version). But then again I’ve had good resteeping success w/ almost all oolongs I’ve tried it with.

As it cools at room temp for a few minutes the flavor really start coming out more! :)

Cool…
How long do you suggest for the OVERsteep on the 2nd infusion!?

Katers, I’ve infused this over 5 times nearly every other day – This oolong is one that truly lasts
