Smell: bold, oolong-y, roasty
Taste: kind of a plain, generic oolong taste. Similar to oolongs you get at Chinese restaurants. A darker, slightly roasty oolong. Maybe a bit barleyish? Or something wheat-y. It is very bold in its flavor though. Adagio says it has a raisin, ripe fruit aroma - I didn't get that. Autumn leaves, maybe, but I didn't taste any sweetness in the way we brewed it. Maybe a similar barley-type sweetness in its aftertaste, but that's it.
Verdict: The more I drank it, the more I'm reminded of Chinese restaurant tea. Or a very muted/distant cousin to barley tea from my fave Korean restaurant. It was okay for what it is. Would I buy more of it? Sure, maybe, but it isn't what I'd reach for. It's good but not wow.
Stars: 3/5
