Drinking this at work tonight. Thank you ifjuly for the sample. I haven’t had many Red Jade teas but this is one of the better ones. I still think I like China blacks better than Taiwan blacks, but I’m still really learning about the different blacks.
This is a nice black tea, I’m not sure I really understand what I like/don’t like about them. I’m not getting a lot of fruity, and none of the mint finish (that would be a good thing for me). All in all a solid black, but there are several that I like more than this. I don’t think it would make the short list for restock – but am really happy to have tried it. Thanks ifjuly for another really nice tea.

I was bummed a little because the amazing first few cups never came back after about a week, especially the awesome mintiness. I’m thinking I must not have properly stored it, but that seems kind of odd given it’s black tea…not sure. IIRC someone else mentioned either for this one or another TTC black tea a similar experience of really loving the first cup of something and revisiting to find a lot of the notes were gone. Weird. It’s still pretty good now without that note, but it was fantastic before.
