... Oolong!

To be honest, I've tried this tea from several vendors, over the last
three years, and not found one to knock my socks off, considering it
is touted as "rare".
Can you tell us why you preferred this one?
More an absence of wrongs than a presence of rights. Everything good is
the fragrant, fruity/rich, fascinating a complex flavor that changes
constantly - or perhaps stays the same, but reveals dimensions as the
senses' attention moves around. What's missing is any hint of staleness,
off-flavors, astringency (even in late steeps), other distractions. A
solid canonical example of the type, IMO. And again, I rarely like
oolongs this green this much.
