Tea Review
Name: Yunnan "Qing Xin" Taiwan Varietal Red Oolong Tea
Brand: unsure, vendor: Yunnan Sourcing
Type: oolong
Loose leaf
Notes:
Despite the name of the tea, the info sheet says it was imported from China. This is another light roast, but it's heavily oxidized. The tea leaves before they were brewed smelled sweet, but not fruity. The tea was a dark amber color with a faint citrus smell. The taste was very similar to a black teas that are labeled "breakfast tea." Some people could taste a nutmeg like flavor. I did not.
