MS Empress Oolong-
Drinking it, the first thing that comes to mind is Taiwan Oolong. Something like a roasted d**g ding or roasted Ali Shan, if compared with Chinese probably a roasted tie guan yin. I wonder which variant they grow.
So let's hop on that Taiwan train and judge the tea in these terms.
Sweet, slight cinnamon roast, slight milky sourness, slight wood, a very smooth and balanced flowery aroma, medium viscosity. A very rounded experience with a very balanced taste, not too strong in any way, not too thin either.
When you think about that this tea was grown in the US on a low elevation rather than on a high mountain in Taiwan it's unbelievable how they can achieve a pretty similar quality and aroma.
The roasting reminds me a bit of Thai oolongs, just like their Belle Oolong that I had yesterday.
