Never had a oolong before? This'll get you started nicely. It's a perfect introductory oolong, and perfect for anyone craving a standard, traditional oolong with no frills, oddities, or bizarreness. It's 50% oxidized and lightly roasted, so it has both the vegetal and roasty qualities of oolongs, and has a mellow presence without any astringency, but with plenty of body. It's a perfect starter, but can be enjoyed by all oolong-lovers.
