Mmmm, nice pix! How many infusions did this go? The tea liquor looks smooth and rich with the roast. Does the tea come from an online vendor or is it a special acquisition?

Nice to see you here :D
I got it from a vendor in Guangdong, China (there are a bunch of them in Guangdong dealing with Taiwan oolong). I normally go for 7 infusions, but for the last 2, the flavor is not as intense as previous ones. I like it very much (probably largely due to the winter season). But it does have a hint of smokey flavor that I would rather not have. It has large portion of stems attached to tea leaves, but the curled tea leaf "balls" look very healthy.
