I didn’t know anything about it, so I was surprised by how light the brew was (when compared to my other oolongs). It is good, especially if you like lighter brews and green teas. I would describe it as smooth, and almost like a slightly roasted green tea.

That's an apt description of TGY for me as well. Where is this tea from?

I try to buy locally, which leaves me at the mercy of whatever Jungle Jim’s has in stock. In this case, the brand is “The Republic of Tea.”

Ok. I haven't ordered from them before. Looks like good tea though.

Good ol Jungle Jim 🤠

I’ve previously bought Harney and Sons, but after trying this I think I’m going to stick with the Republic of Tea. The leaves used are mostly whole and so much bigger and more intact than the leaves used by Harney and Sons.
