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!

Flavors: Cedar, Honey, Malt, Peppercorn

200 °F / 93 °C 3 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML
