Additional notes: Note to self, never put this lovely tea in a disposable tea bag again, only in a tea basket… the tea barely unraveled and I know there is a TON of tea here. So I wasn’t giving this tea a fair chance. But I know it’s lovely anyway. I’m not sure if it’s because it didn’t unravel or if it’s a different harvest, but I was noticing a huge syrupy sweet quality in the 2016 harvest which wasn’t present here as much. Maybe that quality would have appeared in a third cup that I mistakenly didn’t make. I don’t like wasting my tea.
Also, Teavivre is having an amazing black tea sample sale right now. (And larger amounts of black tea are 15% off.) Some teas are 75% off, but you can only buy one of each sample (meaning two sample packages of each black tea). It’s a great sale if you want to try most of their black teas!

It is a shame that I am hardcore sticking to my New Year’s Resolution to not buy any tea. (Besides, $800 in car repairs has pretty much obliterated the tea budget for some time, making it even easier to stick to that…) That is a killer sale, though. And I love Chinese blacks. So sads. T-T
Ooh, thank you for letting us know! Sounds like a good time to pick up 100g of their black dragon pearls and try some other black teas as well.
I just received this last week, along with the Chrysanthemum one. Now you’re making me look forward to trying this one. The Chrysanthemum one was very good. Just worried it’ll taste too much Rose o.O. I keep buying rose teas and I don’t really like rose… What’s up with that? >.< lol Anyway, thanks for heads up on the sale! yay
Both harvests I’ve tried of these had barely any rose flavor, so I’m sure you’ll like them (but neither harvest I’ve tried has been the newest harvest). Their Rose Dian Hong in the past has been VERY rose flavored though.
Thanks for the info. I’ve been wanting to try their Keemuns!
Oh, that is info I definitely didn’t need…and will be taking advantage of. :D

Mastress Alita -sorry about your car. Hopefully this will be a yearly Teavivre sale?
