870 Vietnam Yen Bai OP

Black Tea by Ann Arbor TeaHaus

Assam lovers stand amazed. Teas of surprising quality are emerging from Northern Vietnam. Wild tea trees growing in remote areas are plucked and expertly processed. The finished product glows coppery in the cup with notes of cocoa and sweet spice against a stout background.
Prep: 3g tea leaves (1 heaping tsp) per 8oz cup of filtered, boiling water. Allow to brew 4 min.

I had it when I visited Ann Arbor in October and loved it then, but then the friend who I was visiting bought me some for Christmas and it was excellent. It’s a lovely strong tea, a bit like assam and I’d recommend it to anyone

I had a poker night a few weeks ago and a friend came who had never been to visit before. Of course she knows I’m a bit enthusiastic about tea so she had very high expectations and was disappointed with the black tea I offered her, because it wasn’t as strong and powerful as a normal teabag like Tetley or PG Tips.

If she comes again, I will give her this. It’s delicious and is quite strong and good with milk and it’s brilliant. Full of flavour and better than the teabags I mentioned in the last paragraph

I love chocolate so when I read that this had hints of cocoa, had to try it. Was not disappointed. Adding a bit of Agave only made it better. Makes a great morning brew, starting the day off right.
