“Once again, we are glad to be able to offer Hao-Ya A, the highest Keemun standard available. Every year we receive numerous samples from which to choose. The qualities and the prices can differ significantly.
This has a sparkling red-orange cup color, uniquely sweet biscuity fragrance with a hint of smokiness and exquisitely mild but complex aroma. A truly great Hao-Ya A that will age well.”-Retrieved from Google Cache, Jan 21, 2011 03:46:55 GMT
I’ve had my sample packet for close to a year and a half now…so I guess it’s sort of “aged” in a way. I love the description for this—“sweet and biscuity”!!
The scent reminds me of sandalwood. Sweet, woodsy and bit resinous. The taste is very smooth almost “sugary”. A bit biscuity too. A hint of smoke adds depth.
Very delicious.
R.I.P. SpecialTeas! Thanks for offering such a superb Keemun! Now I know that I should keep an eye out for Hao-Ya A’s. It is very good stuff. :)
