Royal Yunnan

Black Tea by New Mexico Tea Company

Excellent fullness with subtle China sweetness. Only produced during March and April, when the mountain air is moist and cool.

Okay. First – warmth is good. :)

Second, this is a good morning tea. Dark, heavy, slightly sweet… with an odd almost fishy aftertaste? Dusty? Not a bad thing. But not something I tasted in the Yunnan Gold from NM Tea. This is good and if I hadn’t tried the Gold I’d be pretty happy with this.

When I reorder, it will be the Gold I keep in the cupboard, not this one. Not a thing wrong with this one, just prefer the other, I think.

Made a pot of this at work today. I forgot about it and it steeped for about 20 minutes! O.O

It was delicious. The longer steep brought out smokey notes and reminds me somewhat of coffee. A strong several cups to get me through the day. It might not be what this tea was intended to be, but even at that long a steep it was still a good tasting cup.

No rating on this one as I’ve already rated and see no need to change it.
