Sipdown, 149 (new samples acquired last night). Thanks, Sil, for this sample!
This tea is totally blowing my mind. I’ve had a sample of Sun Moon Lake Black tea before, but this tea completely blows it out of the water. I guess this is also equivalent to Butiki’s PTA, and I can see some of the similarities, but this is definitely unique in my mind.
It didn’t seem that exceptional at first, and I kind of started drinking it without thinking about it too much. Then holy caramel! So sweet and soooooo much like caramel! I get it in the scent too now. Fruity, yes, and I agree with cooked fruit, like a jam. But this time the fruit isn’t accompanied by whatever notes usually are in a fruity black tea that I dislike (I have a hard time describing them, but I know them when I taste them). To me, this is almost like a caramel apple with the fruit and caramel together. Caramel apricot? Whatever, it is delicious. It is so smooth and silky. I know I will definitely be ordering from this company in November!

YAY!!! another convert!! WIsh i’d had some left of the yuchi mountain black. The nice thing is, you can get sample sizes and if you spend 25$ you can get free shipping with the sample sizes. AND they have great customer service!
Good to know! I’m glad you sent me this one because I thought I didn’t like Sun Moon Lake Black teas, but I was wrong! Can’t wait to try more of their teas.
