[Spring 2019 harvest]

An elegant Yunnan black tea with a smooth, creamy texture and a nutty/woody profile. In particular, the flavour reminds me of walnut shells, cocoa beans, bread, and cedar wood. There is a nice brown sugar sweetness that comes to the surface especially in the aftertaste. The aromas are not too pungent and besides the classic malty ones include notes of strawberries and fir trees. I also found the cha qi to be quite warming and strong for a black tea of this kind.

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
