From Siam Tee Shop

Lahu Black is “the fruity one” among our forest- and climate-friendly black teas from northern Thailand. Due to the highly diverse natural input in the (forest) soil and their deep-reaching roots, such “wild” teas are particularly rich in taste and active substances. The full-bodied taste of freshly picked midsummer fruits gives way to the harmonious interplay of typical malt and roast notes in the second infusion.

I wasn’t sure which tea to choose today in the evening, so I let my brother decide. He picked this one (the second was Dhara Black) and I have brewed it in French press. I have decided to fill my cup after 2-3 minutes, as suggested by the vendor.

Honestly, I am quite tired, as I have been helping my cousin to move all day, but the feeling being helpful is priceless.

I will return to the tea really fast: the color of the brew is light yellow, clear and very nice to watch. But, the tea is rather about the aromas and mostly flavours. Aroma of dry leaf, but as well as the tea in the mug is fruity. I am not able to recognize any exact ones.

Flavour is honey-ish, smooth and slightly malty. It is very round taste, but it feels a little bit flat. Certainly, it’s low in tannins and not bitter at all. Maybe longer steeping or different steeping method could make the tea more complex.

In conclusion, for now I will say it is nice, smooth and easydrinking tea. Daily drinker.

You’ve been reviewing some good stuff lately!

Haha, thanks! It seems I have good teas around this time. But on the other hand I reviewed the “Harry Chai-pin”, where I haven’t been amused. But from the orthodox teas, I certainly have good stuff lately :)
