Amber Gaba Oolong

5.5g, 200F, gong fu method

I'd describe it as honey sweet, warm baked, chocolate, and a tanginess for intrigue. This is the heaviest roast I've tried from Taiwan, but with their hot air roasting method, I think it works well. I do enjoy lighter roasts too, but this brings more depth and makes the tea last for more steeps. I think of this as the ultimate dessert tea. For me, it fully replaces the need for actual dessert.

This is my most favored tea from Taiwan. I like to have this tea once every week or two. It is in a class of its own for me. I'd be interested to try other teas that I would consider comparable, to compare quality. So if you know one, please share!
