This tea is an odd combination of light and comforting. I’m surprised to see the official description is of a black tea, while the packaging simply calls it ‘lightly oxidized loose leaf’ tea. If I had been given this tea with no description, I might have thought it was a light oolong. It’s a bit delicate for my tastes, but if you like the lighter greens and wouldn’t mind something a touch earthier, this might be a good choice.
I love cooking, gardening, photography, studying languages, alleys, riding bikes everywhere, snowboarding, travel, dogs, and oddly, housekeeping (as much as one can with another career). Also working on the lifelong dream of starting a business.
If I could only drink four teas ever again, they would be Black Beauty (Mandala), Huang Zhi Xiang Phoenix Mountain Dancong (Verdant), Silver Buds Yabao (Verdant), and Shan Lin Xi Concubine (Eco-Cha, at least the fall 2013). These teas are ridiculous.
