From the Yunnan region’s finest tea estate where falcons fly overhead, this golden-tipped tea brews malty smooth with gorgeous butterscotch color. (Formerly known as Peregrine First Flush Mountain).
Another purchased with a half price certificate that would otherwise be out of the normal range of consideration for me to buy without tasting first.
Malty and smooth with a hint of sour hiding in the background. Not overwhelming sour, but definitely there.
This is good. Not sure it justifies the price tag for me. There are other tippy and nontippy yunnans that I like as well or better. But this is a good, high quality tea and I’m glad it is in my cupboard. I’ll enjoy it till it’s gone!
The first few sips just tasted like a regular black tea, but the longer I let it linger in my mouth the more the unique flavors of it come out. It’s a little malty, but not unpleasantly so (I don’t like malt!). It’s just a hint of malt.
This is a unique experiment for me (I usually either drink breakfast blacks or flavored) and it’s interesting. I don’t like it enough to buy it (it was a free sample), but I’m glad I tried it.
