Sunskate is a black tea from Yunnan province.
Sunskate was oxidized very lightly, so much so that we could probably refer to it as a strange oolong instead of a black tea. The goal was to leave room for further aging and oxidation in the coming years, but it’s a beautiful tea fresh as well. Made from material usually destined for raw Puer production, Sunskate has a syrupy thick body with bright aromas uncommon in a black tea.
Someone compared an earlier year of this tea production to “elevated Lipton” and that’s a great description. The gongfu session didn’t have the complexity of some other stuff I’ve had, but it did provide several steeps of pleasant if unremarkable tea. Very sweet overall, a lot of sugary maltiness. I intend to buy a cake of this, for stressful days where I need some tea but don’t have time to sit around appreciating it.
Flavors: Malty, Peach
