“A nice taiwanese black! I got this tea from my MST order, and it’s decent but nothing special. Beautiful leaves with some buds, aroma was not very rich but quite complex, liquor was a beautiful...” Read full tasting note
An Assamica tea with some history, this strain has been grown in Taiwan for a long time. Originally from Jaipur in India, it has been grown in Taiwan for many decades and it was one of the parents of the famous Ruby 18 cultivar.
This Sun-Moon-Lake-area Assamica is strong, creamy and recognizable. If you like the Assamica’s typical flavors (think Lipton) then this carefully crafted, high-quality version of that style of black tea brings a beautiful depth and creaminess often lacking in the other, lower-quality versions of black tea made with this cultivar.
If there was one tea on the site that would be perfect with a little cream and sugar added to it, it would be this one!
