drank Imperial Mojiang Golden Bud Yunnan Black Tea Autumn 2013 by Yunnan Sourcing
187 tasting notes

Just a quick cup a work.

The dry leaves smell sweet, bitter(chocolate, but not really at the same time) and refreshing piney. When wet it has a more apparent bitterness combined with a robust malty and sweet brow sugar-molasses scent and the refreshing pine.

The liquor can be from a range of a deep yellow to copper-amber and finally a reddish copper in stronger steeps. And the taste matches the scent of both the dry and wet leaves with plenty of sugary sweetness followed by plenty of malt, cocoa-like bitterness and pine-woody notes. I prefer the Spring offerings, but that doesn’t make this autumn ones less pleasant or desired.

Great tummy warming and throat refreshing tea for this chilly weather.

LOL! That sounds like a plan! But if you get free spring samples you have to send those to me! But joking aside, for imperial Mojiang… it really doesn’t make that MUCH of a difference, I enjoy both, spring just a tad more, I like softer but more complex notes, but I feel like autumn(specially in this weather) offers that heavier/robust that satisfies very well. :D

yeah, i wouldn’t say the time of year makes a HUGE ZOMG difference but yes… spring for me tends to be earthier?, but softer lol

Meh, different samples or different palates. But that’s just part of the beauty of tea altogether. :)

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for about 8-10 years now, but Puerh for about 7-8 years. I love learning and I love the people who ae passionate about it. This is a constant learning field and I love that too. I’m mostly in to Puerh, Black tea and Oolongs but I do enjoy other types from time to time.

I’m adding the scale because I noted that we all use the same system but it doesn’t mean the same to all.(I rate the tea not by how much I ‘like it’ only; there are flavors/scents I don’t like but they are quality and are how they are supposed to be and I rate them as such).

90 – 100: AMAZING. This the tea I feel you should drop whatever you are doing and just enjoy.

80-89: Great tea that I would recommend because they are above ‘average’ tea, they usually posses that ‘something’ extra that separates them from the rest.

70-79: An OK tea, still good quality, taste and smell. For me usually the tea that I have at work for everyday use but I can still appreciate and get me going through my day.

60-69: Average nothing special and quality is not high. The tea you make and don’t worry about the EXACT time of steep because you just want tea.

30-59: The tea you should probably avoid, the tea that you can mostly use for iced tea and ‘hide’ what you don’t like.

1-29: Caveat emptor! I feel sorry for my enemies when they drink this tea. :P
