Hou De 90s Aged Mu-Zha "Si Ji" Oolong

This is an aged Oolong harvested in the early 90's. It is from Mu-Zha Taiwan, and is said to be 30% roasted with a medium wood fire. This will be my first Hou De tea, but I do like the speed of shipping to the united states, and the amound of information they give on the packages.

Aged oolongs are known for having a plum flavor, and a great chaqi. Chaqi being a warming energy/ buzz from tea.
