Oh YUM!
This is delicious. Really one of the best black teas I have had in a loooong time. I steeped my cup for around 3 minutes in my infuser mug. I’m not one that normally finds strange and interesting flavors in teas, but this definitely seems unique. I’m getting a delicious load of malt with chocolate-y notes and cinnamon. The finish is mildly pungent but oh, so terrific! I was surprised at how bold and assertive this tea was, but it’s still easy to drink it plain. I am in black tea heaven! Definitely getting more of this ASAP!
Sorry I can’t write more but I’m kind of busy this morning! A+!

Sounds GREAT! Enjoy!
Do you think this is the same type of tea they use to make Teavivre’s Fengqing Dragon Pearls?
@Scott B- I have no idea, sorry
I’ve been buying a Feng Qing from Yunnan Sourcing for the past couple of years and it is the best black tea I have ever had. I’m waiting for my shipment of the spring harvest. The shipping is expensive but the tea is ridiculously cheap.
@DO\oug – good to know! How much is shipping?
About $15 air mail from China. They have a few different dian hongs that are out of this world. One is only $9 for 100 grams! The others are not much more expensive. When I found these teas I felt like I had hit the mother lode of Yunnan golden needles/tips. Look also at the Imperial Mojiang gold bud, maybe the best of the lot and only $14 for a generous 100 gram pouch.
