Do you know what the best sign of a great tea is? When you are feeling stressed out and you take a sip and it blows everything away. This lovely bit of black tea begins with an interestingly sweet dry aroma. Could be a packaging problem or something too but I’ve smelled other black teas like this as well. The leaf is dusty and dark brown, mostly tightly twisted leaf. The steeping tea holds notes of dark chocolate and slight liquor. A bit of a pu er note comes out in the subsequent steepings. The flavor is a bit perfumy. A piece of sweet rosewood. Desert woods. A silky mouth feel with just a bit of abrasive behavior in the finish.

I’m a purist but I will try a flavored as long as it doesn’t have artificial flavors.

I will drink any type and love to taste whatever I can get my hands on.

(Purple is not a type of tea it is a cultivar known as TRFK 306/1)
