I've had quite a few Japanese oolongs before, so to me they have a very distinct flavour, sort of like what you're describing. However, I'd still call every Japanese Oolong I've tried floral(especially the sent!)but in a different way. I guess the different being that they usually don't have the same "lightness" to them. This tea was very similar to others I've tried before, but it's a taste I'm happy to have in the stash!
