jLteaco (fongmongtea)

Another strongly chocolate black tea from Taiwan. But this tea unlike the other black teas has a distinct flavor of a chocolate truffle covered in a bitter cocoa dust, what makes it a perfect accompaniment to sweet deserts and liquors. With the consecutive brewing the tea develops gentle sweetness and additional flavor of roasted peanuts. Wonderful tea and a keeper, particularly for the special occasions!

I was so impressed with this tea that I ordered a whole bag. This tea never stops to surprise me. The sweet apple taste stays to the very end and the tea can be brewed at least 6 times. It quickly became my favorite. What I have found out though is that depending on water temperature the tea taste changes like a chameleon. To get the linden taste the best is to use water right after the little bubbles start moving around. But even if water is a hotter, it won’t make the tea bitter, only gives more character. The same goes for many other green teas, particularly teas from China. Taiwanese teas seem to be more resistant to leaf burn. I am very pleased with this seller. The quality consistency of their teas is just remarkable.

Beautiful tea, gentle like a a spring breeze, smelling of linden flowers and magnolia buds.
The taste is quite remarkable, sweet, honey like. Not too grassy and never bitter. I suppose it would be hard to make a mistake with this tea. The seller is located in Taiwan and is extremely friendly and accommodating. His prices are very compatible and his products better than what one usually gets in USA. I have found this seller on Ebay and I am truly pleased with the service. He sells under “teabusiness0517” user name. What a find! I got 8 samples of different teas from him and the Sun-link-Sea is the first I have tried. I will be posting more reviews in the next few days.
