Honey Black Oolong

A real treat for those that love Red Oolongs and Honey Fragrance Black tea, this hybrid of the two genres is full of honey, rose and dark oolong goodness. Relatively rare, this type of tea can only be made at just ther ight time of the spring when the bugs wake up but before the hot weather arrives to change the taste of the tea leaves to the woody strength of the warm summer months.

This blew my mind!

This may be the best MST oolong I have tried so far, so good in fact I had to write a review right after trying it for the first time. I've had mediocre experiences with darker oolongs but I decided to try this one because of that sought after honey aroma of bug-bitten tea leaves. I seemed to have nailed the brewing temperature and time in my gaiwan because this tea was spectacular! It tasted almost chocolatey and malty while still being very honey-forward. This tea truly put a smile on my face which lasted through a gorgeous lingering aftertaste. This is truly a unique tea and one that I will order again.

Spectacular

This is a fabulous, sweet, rich, deeply honeyed tea. So glad MST got some more. This is a slightly finicky brew for me, but if I nail it just right, holy cow it is amazeballs. If I get it wrong, it's kind of sour and flat and I feel sad for wasting amazing tea.

Unique tea

A very fruity and floral tea with hints of tangerine juice. Both the smell and the flavor are quite sweet, definitely reminiscing of honey and fruits. There is an aftertaste that reminds me of a very sweet manila mango, which stays with you for a while after you had a sip. Never had a tea quite like this before. It's amazing!

A must try

Quite unique and interesting ooloong.
The taste is really clean with a pleasent finish. A lubricating texture with no astringency. This tea is on the thin and soft side.
I got a balance honey and floral taste, playing with some less high notes.
After a couple of infusions I had a refreshing mouth feeling.
A nice hybrid worth trying!!
