From TeaSource

This tea goes down easy. It has a rich aroma and lightly textured dark chocolate and floral flavors. The cup has zero astringency and a honey-sweet finish.

This tea is made from the “zhu ye qi” cultivar in Gu Zhang county of Hunan province – a famous tea growing region. The curled leaf style is popular in the domestic Chinese market and works well when steeping in a gaiwan or whatever your favorite preparation method is.

Just finished this one off and realized I had never logged it! TeaSource has a lot of Chinese black teas that I really enjoy and this one has been a favorite since I first purchased it last fall. The leaves are small and tightly twisted, so dark brown they appear black. The tea steeps up to a deep color with a rich and fruity molasses-sweet flavor. I can get several good re-steeps out of this one as well. Will definitely be re-purchasing at some point!

Day 3 – Advent from Inkling – I am sorry I do not know how to tag somebody or link somebody! I really like this tea because it’s mild with a lot.of flavor, and very relaxing. It’s not bitter at all, I love straight black teas, I steeped 16 oz, then poured it in my teapot, then steeped another 16 oz immediately afterwards, and made one big pot. This lasted me till 10:30 tonight, I think I got like 5 small China tea cups out of it, and it tasted just as good as it did fresh this morning. I hope they still make this, I will definitely order my own. Thanks for I teosuxing me to this, Inkling!

I don’t think there is a way to tag others, not that I’m aware of anyway, but that would be a great addition to the site. Some users put names in bold if you would like to do that – you can do this by adding an asterisk at the beginning and end of the person’s name.

So glad you liked it, Devon! That one’s been a recent favorite for me. :)
