Steepster ate my last note. I really should know to copy my note before hitting “save changes”…
I decided to revisit this one after trying Zhi Tea’s Gong Fu Black last night. It had reminded me of this. There are some similarities, but the Laoshan Black is more subtle and sweeter. The dry leaf of this also has a milder aroma, the Zhi tea leaves remind me much more of a Yunnan Black. I think I would pair this with sweet foods and the Gong Fu Black with savory foods.

Glad you got to try the Gong Fu. I’m with you, I generally prefer the Verdant Laoshan Black. It’s soooo rich, like eating a dessert. Hard to describe… But glad to hear you got to try the tea we swapped.
I really like the Gong Fu too. It is smooth, but can stand up to being paired with heavy/spicy foods.
