A strong, black tea—a blend of Assam and Yunnan. There is an earthy, malty, and spicy flavor to it, most likely malt from the Assam and earthy and spicy from the Yunnan leaves. But the two varieties of tea blend well together and each add their own flavors to the mix. It’s interesting that I can taste both the Assam and the Yunnan as separate flavors within the tea as I concentrate of its flavor. Overall a very enjoyable, strong tea that I am glad I purchased!

Been quite a wile, but I remember liking this one!
gmathis: Just read your tasting note on this tea — glad you found it appealing as well!
Good grief…I just looked back, too. Ten years? (Confound it, I’m getting old!)
Ha! I just appreciate all the years of advice and recommendations you’ve posted on here, gmathis! :)
I only once mixed gotu kola with mengsong black. Looking forward to guangdong black from oolong variety by curioustea selection. A drop of vinegar can make all the difference to the visvosity
