Yunnan Royal Golden

I’ve been a little preoccupied with my new Bamboo Pen & Touch today but I have been drinking tea! This one I just got today and it’s yummy and different! Here’s why…when I first opened the package of this one it smelled a little like Chinese Food! When I infused the aroma morphed into a malty-peppery black type tea. The taste is mildly peppery and malty and a nice yunnan! This is also great iced!

Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea!

The leaves are beautifully golden. The aroma evokes images of freshly baked bread. No, it doesn’t smell like freshly baked bread, but it has a way of bringing those thoughts to mind. It tastes biscuit-y. Bake-y and chewy! Rich and malty and very flavorful.

Nice! Oh, so very nice!

This is a good all-around Yunnan. What I like about it is how smooth it is — there isn’t even the slightest hint of astringency or bitterness. It’s not the strongest Yunnan I’ve ever had, but perhaps that’s because I tend to brew my tea fairly strong, and this sample was on the small side. It’s not spicy or peppery, but a little bit biscuit-y. Very easy to drink. Overall, a nice mellow black tea with a pleasing flavor.

I really like this.

I mean REALLLLLLY like this. It’s slightly peppery and has a very full flavor and aroma. It’s delicious and I love it and it’s going on my list of teas to buy!

This is one of the free samples I got from butiki teas thank you very much. Backlogging this is a very good medium strength yunnan that is very good and without the strong peppery notes which I do not like.
