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

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 9 g 4 OZ / 120 ML

Bio

Tea addict since around 2011.

My favorites are pu’erhs, blacks/reds, and roasted oolongs, but I have a growing interest in good whites, and sometimes enjoy greens.

Currently trying to get an education, working a part time job, expand my ceramics/pottery skills, and trying to make the best of existential crisis.

Other than tea I love the outdoors, ceramics, guitar, and diy/building things.

I started a tea blog in February 2018, though admittedly I haven’t updated it much lately.

When I give a tea a numerical rating it’s simply meant to reflect a balance of how well I enjoyed the tea and how it compares to others of the same style. I don’t follow any universal rating criteria, and my ratings are mainly meant for my own use, to remember what I though of a tea and if I want to repurchase.
