ZY88: Yunnan Tippy Select

Full-bodied, mouth-filling, smooth. A piquant nip at the start quickly gives way to gingery notes over a caramel base. The finish is both sweet and slightly astringent. My second choice to accompany dark chocolate, the first being a Darjeeling.

Really excellant tea

That was then, this is now. Wonderful woodsy, spicy smell. Very, very smooth, full tea. Some spice, some wood, some fine tobacco. Chocolate hint, but not in the cup. If it weren’t for the nuances, this would just slip down almost without swallowing. Very tasty and yes, good with chocolate – Lindt’s Dark with Sea Salt.
