Strange VariaTEA TTB #5

Oh, YUM! In my first 24 hours of sipping through this box, this tea is my standout by far. This is my very favorite flavor profile for a Chinese black tea: a rich, hearty mouthfeel with lots of malt and sweet potato flavor and a nice smooth finish. I’m slightly devastated that there was one pot’s worth of tea in this sample, but you better believe I’ll be re-steeping these leaves and placing an order with Tea Runners sometime soon!

Flavors: Malt, Rich, Smooth, Sweet Potatoes

I believe this tea is sourced from Yunnan Sourcing, just might want to compare prices at both places when you go to order.

Sampled from the Strange VariaTea Traveling Tea Box

Sweet potato, a bit of malt, and a hint of charcoal as it cools, but nothing that really punches you in the face. Which is maybe a good thing! Sometimes you want muted flavors without a ton of oomph behind them. I am sipping this alongside some avocado toast (#millennial) and it’s a very pleasant pairing.

Advent tea!
This is malty and yeasty and if I squint really hard I can taste the sweet potato? There’s a bit of chocolate malt underneath. Seems to be only one taste note here, but my cup is draining fast so I must like it! Reminds me of a jin jun mei and I would drink this again.

Flavors: Malty, Yeasty

VariaTEA gave me a sample of this and while i’ve had it a few times now it’s just not that memorable. It’s a good every day tea if the price is right but it didn’t envoke any sort of “wow” facto for me :)
