From TeaSource

This dark tea from Anhua County, Hunan Province, China is medium-bodied with a slightly dark, sweet, floral character to the cup. It’s very smooth and wonderful for multiple steepings.

Anhua County, Hunan, China is famous for making the best dark teas in China. This is an example of one of them. After this tea is initially produced it is stored and aged wrapped in bamboo. This encourages the microbial growth that makes dark tea unique and gives it its mellow flavor. Tian Jian translates as “Heaven Tips” referring to the high quality leaf used to make this tea.

Brews up slightly darker and fuller bodied than I expected (1 minute steep)

Smooth and complex. I’m tasting caramel, honey, melon, grass, some earthiness, and malt. Even a bit of lemon. Very slight astringency. An all-day drinker.

Note to self: steep this longer (at least twice as long) than a typical puer.

It’s a very solid dark tea, but it doesn’t quite stand out… still, I will be enjoying this one for a while.
