It smells more like gyokuro, very sweet with umami notes. Since it's a fukamushicha, the leaves are quite fine and entirely coated with matcha.

An unusual oolong that underwent heavier oxidation and charcoal roasting.

I will start publishing my opinions on various teas from time to time, while trying to approach the evaluation as neutrally and consistently as possible - we'll see how it goes.
