Peony Tea S.

The aroma of the dry leaf is sweet. I agree with TeaEqualsBliss – I smell the sweetness of dates here. Even the brewed tea has a hint of the date-like fragrance, and this translates to the flavor. Sweet, with hints of earth and leather, fruit undertones, and even hints of chocolate.

An really delightful Dian Hong. This is one I could drink every day.

Back log and SIP DOWN…I will miss this one a great deal…see other tasting notes for this one, too!

Yum, Yum, Yum! Backlogging, again! LOVE a good Yunnan Black! This does the trick!

I also tried this iced with this for dinner

Started my day with 3 cups of this! Awwwww-yeah! See previous notes!

Backlogging a couple of cups of this as well! A real winner in my book! See other notes!

I had two cups of this to start my day…see previous notes…

I’m tasting the natural citrus notes today. See previous notes. This was my 1st tea of the day! YAY!

I can’t believe how much this smells like sugary-dates prior to infusion! The aroma is amazing!

After infusing there is still a little bit of that date aroma with a little danish-type smell, too.

It’s medium-strength-type Yunnan Black and it’s very even from start to finish. It has a nice semi-sweet/semi-citrus type flavor to it.

I really can’t compare this to any other Yunnan Black I have tried – it seems to be in a class of it’s own! AND THAT is why I really like it! It stands out! It’s one-of-a-kind! This is a terrific offering! I’m so glad I got to taste it!
