tperez drank Yunnan Assamica Gold Needle Black Tea * Spring 2017 by Yunnan Sourcing

318 tasting notes

Today I took my last exam of the semester, and I’ve got about two weeks before summer semester starts. That translates into two weeks to drink lots of tea!

This is a very nice Yunnan black that brews a dark orange. The leaves are really pretty; they’re long and pressed into straight needles with many furry gold buds.

It’s a medium bodied brew with lots of malt and milk chocolate with a bit of yam and a doughy/yeasty quality. As mentioned by someone on Reddit, this tea tastes like chocolate chip cookies! It’s not the most complex tea, but it’s really tasty and goes among my favorite blacks from YS.

Flavors: Chocolate, Malt, Yams, Yeast

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 9 g 5 OZ / 160 ML

Bio

Tea addict since around 2011.

My favorites are pu’erhs, blacks/reds, and roasted oolongs, but I have a growing interest in good whites, and sometimes enjoy greens.

Currently trying to get an education, working a part time job, expand my ceramics/pottery skills, and trying to make the best of existential crisis.

Other than tea I love the outdoors, ceramics, guitar, and diy/building things.

I started a tea blog in February 2018, though admittedly I haven’t updated it much lately.

When I give a tea a numerical rating it’s simply meant to reflect a balance of how well I enjoyed the tea and how it compares to others of the same style. I don’t follow any universal rating criteria, and my ratings are mainly meant for my own use, to remember what I though of a tea and if I want to repurchase.
