Togo drank 2023 Xin Yi Organic Hong Yun #21 Black Tea by TheTea

996 tasting notes

This is a superb black tea that is very well balanced and complex. The taste is positioned between bitter, woody, leathery notes and more fruity, sweet, and sour ones. The mouthfeel is thick and buttery with a numbing touch and a decent astringency. Aromas remind me of eucalyptus and strawberries when dry, and of gnocchi and cherries when wet.

Flavors: Astringent, Biting, Buttery, Caramel, Cherry, Eucalyptus, Fruity, Leather, Potato, Raspberry, Sour, Strawberry, Sweet, Thick, Wood

Preparation

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.
