Eelong drank Ning'er "Golden Honey Aroma" by Yunnan Sourcing

66 tasting notes

The honey is front and center here! You can get a whiff of it at any stage of the tea making process, and the liquor is full of a golden sweetness. This is what I’m always looking for when I (foolishly) try another Taiwanese honey black. Just wish there was more flavor. It’s a bit bland aside from the honey and usual fresh wheat bread aroma that seems to be typical of Yunnan spring picks. Still a solid tea for the price, though, it’ll come in handy for mindless drinking next fall.

Flavors: Bread, Honey, Wheat

Preparation

Boiling 4 min, 0 sec 2 g 10 OZ / 295 ML

These types tend to lose their distinct flavor notes quick though!

Bio

Eel and tea lover. Big fan of dark oolongs, Nepal blacks, and fruity herbals. I occasionally make the terrible mistake of trying weird teas and then spend a good 5 minutes scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush trying to get the taste out of my mouth.

Ratings:
100: Downright addictive.
95+: A definite favorite. This is something I’ll reach for again when I want something special.
90-95: I’d drink this again without question. There’s probably 4 ounces of it sitting by the tea kettle.
80-89: I’m glad I tried this and I’ll happily drink through the rest of the pouch. Might not be on the reorder list, though.
60-79: This is either mediocre and acceptable or I hate it and don’t want to skew the rating.
40-59: Uh, this is drinkable. Probably.
20-39: We’re entering the abyss. Here lies danger.
1-19: Please take me out if I ever try to brew this one again.
