A smooth, malty and fruity tea, good hot and cold, with no astringency. A real revelation, like a combination of Dian Hong with more complex Chinese red teas, a tea that makes you sit up and take notice. Like eating a really rich, sweet, juicy plum with honey on the side. A delight.
Flavors: Fruity, Honey, Malt, Plum
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.

That sounds lovely! I have tried, but have never learned to liked “beef jerky” tea … but I always suspected there were some quality leaves under all the smoke.
Ah! Long time no post, welcome back :)
Yes, good to see you!
