Thank you Angel for the generous samples. Now to this lovely tea. When I opened the tiny sample bag and smelled the aroma of soft cocoa I knew that I would be in for a treat. So rich and full of flavor. I am getting flavors similar to the Zhi Gung Fu. I saw this was noted by another reviewer also. I only used half of the sample bag for the first cup. For cup 2 I am using the rest of the bag. I will give it a shorter steep time and see what happens. This such a fine tea. One sip and you are in tea heaven. I am brewing this basket style and quite frankly I am saving some for later. It is very uplifting and one of the finest black teas I have had the pleasure to sip. Now I see what my fellow Steepsterites have been gushing about. Again, thank you Angel….

I know what you are talking about. I have had a few of those experiences as well. Usually with Lapsang or Pu-Erh.
I shall pay more attention to it. It is easy with something like Hot & Spicy Cinnamon or even a puerh, but I haven’t considered consistantly paying attention to this element of enjoying tea.
The smell of empty cup is nothing short of sublime. Maybe the finest of the “Empty Cup Aroma”
