drank Old Tree Black Tea - Premium (2016) by Old Ways Tea
997 tasting notes

This is the first time I am drinking a tea from Old Ways Tea, thanks derk for sending me the sample :)
I don’t think I can add anything to eastkyteaguy’s review in terms of flavours present. However, I want to point out that the mouthfeel of this tea is absolutely phenomenal. It is thick like a maple syrup, super soft and silky, unlike anything I ever drank.

This is not an easy drinker for sure. The complexity in flavours is exceptional, the body is super full and the qi is electrifying. Unfortunately, the price reflects that as well.

Flavors: Anise, Bark, Bitter, Cedar, Citrus, Cream, Dark Wood, Herbaceous, Hops, Lavender, Leather, Malt, Mineral, Rosehips, Smoke, Spices, Thick, Wet Rocks, Wood

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
