A hong cha from Bu Lang? How could I say no?
The dry leaves are big, twisty, and beautiful with a good number of golden buds. Some of them barely fit into my pot. Dry aroma of malt and raisins with a floral touch.
Brews a medium orange, this is a fairly mild black tea. Flavors of malt, mineral water, and raisins with a light, almost jasmine floral quality. Mild caramel sweetness with a medium-light body. Lasted quite a few infusions.
This is a pretty nice lighter bodied black, especially if you like some floral notes to your black tea. Not at all bitter or intense like you might expect a Bu Lang tea to be.
Flavors: Caramel, Floral, Jasmine, Malt, Mineral, Raisins
