SAN HE Brand Three Grade Liu Bao Hei Cha Dark Tea Brick 2016 400g

Another surprise from corona supply chain. Ordered same time as few samples from California based purple cloud tea that took a week to get to Ireland. Well, that one has been sitting in customs for last few weeks. Maybe they are calculating the most expensive to apply higher rate which should be zero but I am guessing politicians want to retire earlier. They will fix it later with getting free nuclear submarine from Taiwan or something. I went for the picture. I am guessing dark for roasted. So PayPal never got fixed but maybe there was an option to pay with card thru PayPal but no account. Paypal disabled there text authorizations and to create new account one needs the same. Alternative option was alipay thru transferwise platform. So EMS was courier of choice, USD 15 and voila I got it in 3 weeks with no customs involved. Only guessing due to shipping from shanghai thru hong Kong. What about mongolia, Afghanistan and Dubai. I know, camel wouldn’t have so much fodder to survive the journey. Anyway, it tasted better that I expected. Way smoother and sweeter. A bit acidic only guessing cuz it made me hungry. But missing oiliness from swiss batch. So will I be putting it away for ageing ? I will consider this as well, I like how leaves look on the picture. But link is deceiving, someone just overwrote out of stock line it seems.

So what’s the story with acidity. Is it not enough stalks. On the morning of 6 December 2021 g.j.leonard comet will be about 5 degrees from the star Arcturus.
