From Denong Tea

The 2016 Black Tea we’ve created has a sharp flavor profile and light caffeination, ensuring an energizing brew best suited for early mornings. Loose black tea leaves are far more oxidized than our other teas, causing them to develop a dark, chocolate hue.

Origin: Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province

I bought this at the San Francisco International Tea Festival in 2018. I’m using it for the prompt “a pricy tea”… certainly there are more pricy teas out there, but this works out to close to $1 a gram which is pricy enough in my opinion!

I’ve been hording this, but making a cup this morning, I’m reminded why I was so charmed by it at their booth. I usually don’t get the claimed chocolately notes often in Chinese black teas, but this one is strong… the aroma is very chocolately, with a touch of a lemony-orange citrus scent, and a floral overtone, like a rosy sweetness. The flavor of the cup is very chocolate and sweet potato forward, with some notes of honey, orange zest, and florality.

Very satisfying cup. I don’t normally resteep tea leaves as a western brewer (blasphemous, I know) but I did this morning, and while not quite as potent as I prefer, the second cup still has a lot of sweet potato/yam flavor.
