The dry leaf aroma is pungent and roasty with notes of nut shells and wood.
The golden peach liquor has aroma notes of a sweet fruit that I can't quite identify and fire roasted root vegetables. The flavor is floral and fruity with notes of roasted root vegetables and a long toasty finish.
The roasting process really shines through for this oolong, reminding me a bit of hojicha with the sweetness of starchy vegetables, more specifically reminding me of a satoimo (Japanese taro) and lotus root dish I sometimes eat in winter. The liquor deepened in color following a second infusion and I especially enjoyed a 2.5 minute third infusion. The leaves had only just begun to unfurl after three infusions with the promise of several more flavorful steepings.
