CS added this as a sample to my order. The package I received is called “Yunnan Da Ye Organic” (https://camellia-sinensis.com/en/yunnan-da-ye-organic/2261).
This tea is wonderful. It’s similar to Teavivre’s Bailin, but smoother. Like drinking the lightest malty silk with hints of sweetness.
I would pick this up in a full size, once I sip down some other straight teas I have around.
I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.
Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.
I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.
Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.
I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
