Sounds like a good dessert tea, but wasn’t the tea flavor overpowered or masked making it this way?

Unsweetened soy milk is a pretty mild flavor and isn’t thick and heavy like dairy with dairy fat in it, so it didn’t really get in the way of the tea at all.

If your idea of a dessert tea is a natural hint of sweetness through the notes of the tea, then yes, this would qualify (as would the yunnan rare grade all on its own). But if your idea of a dessert tea is more like a dessert wine, then you’d probably want to skip the high end tea and go with an earl gray or a chai and add honey or something similar.

Thanks.

Works for me, but I add unsweetened almond milk to most black teas, including this one.

It’s not a dessert tea to me either — for me that would be something like Marco Polo or Florence. The perceived “sweetness” of this one is a lot more subtle.
