Special Notes This OG Oolong tea is a dark brownish-green with a strong brownish tinge. It produces a strong, robust cup similar to that of coffee or black tea. It has a wilted aroma characteristic of a mountainous region and has a greater flavor and body than watery sencha. It is astringent but also has a strong umami and is recommended to be drunk plain, but can be enhanced with sugar or milk. It provides a great flavor base for tapioca milk tea, however prolonged extraction can increase the astringency.
