An overpriced yunnan tea, but if that’s the only Yunnan that you can get, you could do worse. Very slightly astringent, sweet, slightly boring for a Yunnan black – nothing too offensive about it, but nothing too great. It mostly tastes like a very good Ceylon minus the astringency — nothing of the chocolate, sweet potato richness of a better Yunnan. A filler tea that you can easily share even with non-tea enthusiasts. If the price would have been more reasonable for what it is, it would have gotten a better grade.
This is You :-D

Bio
An Israeli computer programmer with a passion for tea (mostly bought in yearly shopping sprees in the UK), particularly black, oolong and white. I don’t generally enjoy flavoured teas or herbal infusions, but if a tea sounds interesting and smells nice I’ll most definitely try it. I drink several cups of tea a day, usually one or two in the morning, another one after lunch and one or two in the evening. My favourite tea so far is Lao Cong Zi Ya from Norbu Tea, but I’m constantly trying new teas. Only in the past year have I branched into Pu’erh and non-roasted oolongs. Finding good tea in Israel is difficult, so I import most of my teas from yearly visits to London, or from online retailers. If you see something in my cupboard that sparks your interest and you would like to swap with me, then please message me. I’m almost always up for a swap.
