WEL has mentioned 2 oolongs and oddly, a yellow tea. Can it be a yellow
tea
after all?

Well, the OP will have to come forth...

Exactly....

Preferably with a picture of what the tea might look like, as the
current description is quite... vague.

It also depends on how it was brewed.

This was back in the 1970's; I didn't know how to treat a good tea:
I put a teaspoon full of the tea in a tea strainer, put the strainer in a 6
oz. cup,
poured fresh boiling water in the cup,and set a timer for three minutes.
I had never seen tea leaves go from these narrow twisty things to full green
(mostly)
leaves. I had also obtained another new tea at the time, one which I know
now quite well:
Dragon Well. It struck me that the aftertaste of this unknown tea was very
much like the taste
of Dragon Well, that "water you cooked spinach in" flavor.
