Review; “Formosa” from Teaism, is suppose to be a Dong Ding, or a Milky Oolong, but is impossible to tell due to the lack of flavour. Honestly considering where this tea came from, I have to say this might have possibly been the biggest disappointment in teas I’ve had for a very long time. “This top-quality Formosa oolong has large wiry leaves. Use 2 tsp per 8 ounces of 190 filtered or bottled water. Steep 5-6 minutes. You can infuse several times”. No no no.
“Top-quality”? BS. No que no batman an oolong has large wiry leaves, kinda part of the definition of oolong tea leaves. Infuse several times? Nope hard pressed for the first. I’ve decided to do an experiment where I’m going to let it brew over night and see if more flavour magically appears. Oh, update, looking at the website, spring 2010. Right…might have gone stale except that this tea was purchased November 2011. 
Don’t Enjoy!
