328 Tasting Notes
This one is not as good as Adagio’s Golden Monkey. It is smooth. Sort of cocoa like. But does not have the caramel tones I come to to expect from Golden Monkey. But maybe this from a different region in China?
I was disappointed in this tea. It was touted by Upton as some fancy high end tea w a price of $20 bucks for 10 g. I was hoping this would have cocoa notes as Upton mentioned instead it is a Lapsang Souchong lite w/mild smoky overtones. Glad that I just bought the 5 dollar sample.
So glad to know this. I have been trying lots of boheas and mild lapsangs lately, and I probably would have started witht he 10g pack if I hadn’t read this. Maybe try the Wuyi Shan Lapsang from Harney. I can send you a sample if you want to pm me. It is lovely, though it is also a more expensive tea. I think it was about $20 for 4 oz?
Had this again with fresh mint, iced, and sugar. This bold ass am holds up so well w/the fresh mint..
I really need to order more of this fantastic tea.
And you were the one who talked me into ordering this tea…
LOL! Lori, I had to read it three times to figure out that you accidentally separated the word assam! I was puzzling over whether you meant this was so strong that it was a bad A$$ breakfast drink, or what! Thanks for the giggle! Oh, and now I want to try some of this tea! I think it will have a special nickname.
