Tea #6 from the HHTTB
I thought that this tea tasted very much like Hong Jing Luo from thepuriTea. Sometimes, though, I don’t remember tastes so well after having so many different kinds of tea, but I vaguely categorize them along the way (man-ly tea, mushroom tea, honey tea.. some of my categories probably aren’t so useful for the rest of you, sorry!). I wasn’t sure what type of tea the hong jing luo was, so I looked it up and lo and behold it says “Fans of Golden Yunnan will like…” so it seems I wasn’t too far off this time, and I didn’t even have to use a unique-to-me descriptor.
Hong Jing Luo was briefly a favorite of mine, but that didn’t last long. I can’t say exactly why I don’t like it so much anymore, but I just don’t. So, naturally, this tea isn’t going to be a favorite either.
This is a delicate, smooth, and sweet black tea. Not sweet like honey, but more like sugar-sweetened tea. Nothing not to like here, so don’t ask me what my problem is :p
