I have to say first that this tea has beautiful leaves: tiny twisted dark brown and golden leaves tangled together. They smell sweet like raisins and honey with a slight floral note. Brewed there is a slight bitterness combined with the taste of raisins and tea. It is reminiscent of Golden Moon’s Sinharaja (though I like Sinharaja better since it lacks the bitterness).
Jiangxi Golden Tips
Black Tea by Upton Tea Imports
This Jiangxi province Ning Hong Jing Hao has a delicate orchid aroma and a soft, sweet flavor that lingers on the palate. The complex cup has a pleasing balance of strength and flavor. Attractively priced for a select, hand-made tea.
