It’s hard to say, but I think this one might be my favorite of the purple black teas in my cupboard…or maybe it’s one of them? One of these days maybe I’ll do a side by side comparison (or maybe I already have & I’m getting senile).
This one, which I’ve already reviewed many times, is wonderfully nuanced with plums, a little maltiness, and eucalyptus. It’s sweet. Some of the steeps are especially sweet. Some are kind of creamy textured. Anyway, it’s lovely, and also reminds me of a really nice sheng. I have a very relaxing teabuzz vibe going on right now, and I don’t mind that at all!
Oh…I almost forgot to mention that this tea creates an amazing sensation in my sinuses…it’s hard to explain…not really like eucalyptus, but I can see how some might see it that way. It’s along the lines of an oolong incense after aroma kind of thing, but sweet…kind of like a cross between eucalyptus, plums, and … hell, I dunno know…!
