5.4g, 100 mL gaiwan
dry leaves have a slight sweet spice to them, as well as a slight sort of fruit in the way that some black teas seem to carry.
in prewarmed gaiwan, strong milk chocolate note.
wet leaves smell like any black tea leaves with a touch of sweet potato.
5s: classic slight yammy taste of black teas. Aftertaste is sweet and slightly lingering in a brown sugar sort of way. something also reminds me of celery.
10s: touch of bitterness w/ a sort of chocolate feel. A peppery hint.
15s and 20s: not much change.
stopped here. I have never been a fan of black teas (of the 红茶 sort) and this one didn’t change my mind. It’s the kind of thing where you know something is good quality-wise, but you just don’t like it anyway due to personal preferences. Tried it anyway since Sweetest Dew’s lineup is all worth trying, so overall, no regrets.

I gave up on black teas even when these are hybrids with Oolong’s, yet to come across the one with dark ones. There is nothing wrong with taste but you can’t fool your body. This one somewhat related to that
