I wanted a lovely straight black this morning so I went with Zhu Right. The thing is, I was too lazy to look up the steep time or amount used. I really wish Verdant would add it to the packaging like most other vendors. I’ve decided that it is hard to ruin many blacks between 200-205 and 3 minutes, so I went with it. Came out very nice, too. I think actually more flavorful than my previous attempts with Zhu Rong.
This tea is a great start to the day. Honeyed and complex with a touch of malt, cedar, and even something faintly spicy or peppery that I can smell more in the dry leaf and is almost an afterthought in the tea. Happy Thursday!
