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
But you got me all curious. Why this photo, anything special in this tea, or you were just angry at it?

You are very lucky then

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"

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