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.
