Master Han's Wild Picked Yunnan Black from Verdant Tea

100

NofarS drank Master Han's Wild Picked Yunnan Black by Verdant Tea

I don’t have time for a proper review of this tea, but I will mention some flavours – olive, fruity, sweet, careful not to overbrew – can grow bitter very quickly. But a very special and delicious tea.

I’ve not gotten any bitterness out of it…but I’m probably doing it gung fu style and that’s handling much of the ‘bitters’

I brewed it western style and list track of time the first time I drank it. It’s happened to me before with other Yunnan teas. I haven’t tried it gongfu yet – I have a feeling that it will be much better to drink it that way.

Bio

An Israeli computer programmer with a passion for tea (mostly bought in yearly shopping sprees in the UK), particularly black, oolong and white. I don’t generally enjoy flavoured teas or herbal infusions, but if a tea sounds interesting and smells nice I’ll most definitely try it. I drink several cups of tea a day, usually one or two in the morning, another one after lunch and one or two in the evening. My favourite tea so far is Lao Cong Zi Ya from Norbu Tea, but I’m constantly trying new teas. Only in the past year have I branched into Pu’erh and non-roasted oolongs. Finding good tea in Israel is difficult, so I import most of my teas from yearly visits to London, or from online retailers. If you see something in my cupboard that sparks your interest and you would like to swap with me, then please message me. I’m almost always up for a swap.
