It’s very hard to compare with any other tea, so rating this one is a bit difficult.
If you like Chinese red teas without astringency, this is for you. Remarkably smooth despite the long brew time and complex enough in flavor to keep me interested for 4 steeps.
Very dark and broody tea. The soup is a beautiful dark red. Reminded me mostly of molasses but not in such a sweet syrupy way. A very smooth tea. Not nearly as earthy or tasting of hay as I would expect from say, a Yunnan red tea. A very nice everyday drinker. Good for the morning and at night. I’ll write up my full notes at some other time.
This one is without a doubt worth the meager price they charge.
