Togo drank Pure Bud Bi Luo Chun Yunnan Black Tea by Yunnan Sourcing

1015 tasting notes

[Spring 2024 harvest]

A superb black tea, which is more bitter and complex, and less sweet, than most other dian hongs. I also notice a pretty strong and focusing cha qi.

It smells vegetal with a strong molasses note. The taste is bitter, medicinal, and herbaceous, but also pretty smooth and fragrant. There are flavours of cocoa, malt, menthol, and gin. The long-lasting buttery and perfumy aftertaste also brings notes of peach and coffee.

Flavors: Alcohol, Bitter, Butter, Cocoa, Coffee, Herbaceous, Malt, Medicinal, Menthol, Molasses, Peach, Perfume, Smooth, Vegetal

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C

Hi, I am a researcher in math, physics and computer science. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds. Connect at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Togo

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.
