The verdict

Where this pick fits.

Rolled, lightly-roasted oolong from Anxi. Orchid floral on the first steep, sweet biscuit on the third. Re-steeps five or six times if you respect it.

Orchid on the first steep. Biscuit on the third. Five-plus rounds if you respect it. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
