This is a very light and fruity oolong with strong aroma and delicate, crisp feeling. It has a nice unique flavor of peaches, grapes, and berries. The aroma shines through the first few infusions, while later infusions have a darker, roastier flavor. It's definitely a refreshing drink of a summer afternoon. The monkeys definitely did a great job picking this tea!
