flavor aside,
if you see something like this, what are some words that pop in your mind?

They're awfully wrinkly too but not as much as a dark Yan Cha. Does that mean the leaves have been pretty roasted? I don't think oxidation makes that wrinkly, shriveled appearance.

If I see it on internet, I am not going to buy it :P
But you got me all curious. Why this photo, anything special in this tea, or you were just angry at it? :wink:

You are very lucky then :D I've had some oolong with lots of stems. There is a green oolong, I feel if I take out leaves for 2 brewing session, the accumulated stems can serve one brewing session of "twig tea" :lol:

How about next time quiz us with some good tea, and send tea samples to the winner :wink:
