This tea is the most fruity you can find in Chinese teas. Mellowish with a sweet aftertaste. I guess it could be great like a first tea for you if you wanna say goodbye to milky oolong. The China Teapot has a very good selection. Small bonus tea with every order. Support small businesses, do not go for supermarket tea
