This tea is a study in sweetness balanced by the bitterness of dark chocolate. Honey, caramel, peach, some floral undertones. The bitterness comes at the tail and lingers. It is a very nicely balanced tea, although it’s flavor composition is fairly common for Yunnan reds.
The liquor is deep red and the aroma is for some reason reminiscent of river water. It is a very solid red but it lacked any wow factor.
Flavors: Caramel, Dark Chocolate, Floral, Grass, Honey, Umami
I like to drink teas to recreate a specific mood, or just to take a break at work. The world of tea is so endless, patiently waiting for exploration and rewarding you in many ways big and small.
I am looking forward to years of playing with tea leaves, gaiwans, cups, and YouTube videos.
My ratings:
90 or more – a very good/excellent tea, I can see myself ordering it again.
80-89 – it is a good tea, I enjoyed it but not enough to reorder.
70-79 – an OK, drinkable tea but there are certainly much better options even in the same class/type.
60-69 – this tea has such major flaws that you have to force yourself to finish what you ordered.
<60 – truly horrible teas that must be avoided at all costs.
