“NOTE This is another sample thanks to my friend Roberto. This was at work, so I might add another note at another time. Dry Leaf – Faint black tea sweetness, Oolong/Liu-An scent Wet Leaf – Roasty...” Read full tasting note
Most Yunnan black tea is made from Yunnan large leaf varietal. Usually it’s a varietal that has been hybridized to produce more buds, or give it a more furry appearance, in other other cases the hybrids grow faster or thrive on less water. In the case of our Hui Ming Mountain black tea, it’s just wild arbor tea exactly like that used for pu-erh, but just processed like black tea and then briefly roasted over charcoal (much like Da Hong Pao). The tea has hints of toasted chocolate and there is a subtle sweetness to it. Like other aged black teas it’s a mellow affair.
