This tea lives up to the hype as a fragrant, flavor diverse tea among a category known for these traits. It not only exemplifies Taiwanese black teas, but surpasses the usual bouquets. The liquor is hydrating and a beautiful color.
Easy to abuse, doesn’t seem to be very fussy if I leave it brewing longer. Still a sweet light taste! Many brews out of one 5g serving. Soooo good!
My husband bought me a bunch of tea from this company for Christmas and I think he is finally starting to understand my pickyness. The leaf is sort of boxey smelling. Like you just opened up a cardboard pallet of fresh paper. There are golden trichomes all over the bag. Twisted leaves with stems of varying shades of dark browns and dark olive greens. The inital aroma is filled with relaxing creamy and woody notes. Which were almost promptly ruined by the smell of spray paint wafting in from outside after my husband opened the sliding door. First taste at 30 seconds reveals squash notes and cherry wood. One minute shows more of the same. The mouthfeel is smooth. And now at two minutes, I’m finding so interesting bready notes. The second infusion at one minute isn’t as strong but there are still plenty of notes to keep going. A bit of caramel and cinnamon to round this one out nicely as it steeps for around three minutes.
Firstly let me preface my review that I am biased that I am not a huge black/red tea fan . For reference , I brewed it gong fu style . The tea was clear and lasted about 5-6 brews . Smooth with no bitterness . Not a particularly complex tea but enjoyable nonetheless.
