Pure Buds Black

Black Tea by Mandala Tea

The highest grade spring buds turned into a black tea. Amazingly smooth and slightly sweet.

I steeped this in my gaiwan and am blown away with how amazing it tastes. It has a delicious malty tone to it, sweet … but not too sweet. Very smooth, rich and robust. Notes of cocoa, but not an overly sweet cocoa taste. A fruit note in the background that is both sweet and sour. Slightly creamy, and absolutely wonderful… LOVE!

Not as sturdy as some other “buds” have tried but the highlight of this one is the smooth and creamy aspect as it is still a black tea, of course. It’s quite soothing and delicious!

SIPDOWN TIME! This is a bit more “crusty” than the other cup I had…but it’s quite nice! Teas like this are making my day (as well as my many deadlines) possible!
