Tasters Review:
First…Good Morning & Merry Christmas!
I am going to spend some more time with this specific oolong but here are my first findings and I will say I am very pleased with this tea!
Royal Phoenix Yellow Stone Oolong Tea has a slight woodsy aroma and on top of that a more charcoal type aroma with hints of fruit…altho I can’t tell you what type of fruit…and it’s more of a rind or skin of the fruit than the actual ‘meat’ or ‘flesh’.
As for the taste…it’s VERY different! Again, taste-wise, I can taste the fruit comparison but it’s more of a rind/zest or skin type fruit taste than the actual fruit itself, I suppose. There is a slight drier-wine type taste so maybe the fruit I am tasting could be comparable to grape-skin type taste, maybe!
The more I sip it – the more I like it. And the more I am thinking of a wine comparison. There seem to be hints of strawberry…I’m thinking more like the top of the strawberry – like up top by the leaves and stem rather than a plump juicy strawberry.
This is GOOD because it’s interesting and unique and I am enjoying my cuppa!
I hope you are all blessed with a nice cup of tea today!
Happy Holidays from your SororiTEA Sisters!

Tasters Review:
The aroma of this Premium Taiwan High Mountain Oolong from Bird Pick reminds me of one of the Charcoal Oolong Offerings that another company offers that I have enjoyed in the past.
It does taste different tho. This specific tea tastes like a nice, flavorful Oolong. It starts off with an earthy and leafy taste and ends sweeter and more refreshing. It doesn’t seem to keep the charcoal traits I thought it would based on the aroma…but that is what makes this different, I suppose, and I am excited about that!
This is a really nice oolong…Nice and strong! I am really excited about the Bird Pick Teas I have received and will be reviewing more soon! They have many wonderful offerings and the majority of them on their website are making me what to place an order in the new year!
