Description
The black tea companion to our annual raw puer production, this black tea leads with notes of caramel and baked pastry up front, while a honey scent remains in the cup. There is also a slight fruitiness in the fragrance, accompanied by a thick mouthfeel and smooth texture.
This tea uses the old tree material from the same certified organic garden as our raw puer, giving it a layered fragrance and more depth than your average black tea.
While black tea from traditionally puer-dominant areas of Yunnan has become increasingly more common over the years, quality can vary. In the case of this tea, it has been produced for 10+ years using traditional black tea processing techniques that have been carefully dialed in, resulting in a higher level of Dianhong/black tea than what is commonly found.
$0.27-0.33/gram

This is one of the nicest dian hong I had – and it surprised me with it’s sweetness.
Warmed leaves smells like pastry, honey and flowers. The liquor itself tastes like pastry, caramel, muscovado sugar and hints of stone fruits.

This stuff i just so easy to like, but it’s certainly not to say it has no depth, because it does!
I have tried quite a few different Dian Hong now, but this might be my favourite so far, if you are in the mood for some sweetness at least ;).
I’m looking forward to getting another tin of this sweet stuff!

Similar to the pleasure of eating a delicate, flaky cream dessert. An undeniable comforting side that encourages you to slow down so you can enjoy it for longer.
// Smell: Flowery pastry, salty crème brûlée, plum and pepper cake, salty caramel, raisin bread, tart fruits, cranberry and orange zest cookie.
// Texture: Tingling under the tongue, the liquor seems to disappear and settle in the cheeks, medium texture.
// Taste: Caramelized pastry with cream inside, grilled cranberry bread, mineral notes, floral hints, chocolate chip cookie.
// Body sensation: Vanished saliva, cold teeth, heavy mouth coating, motivation, steadily building energy, introspection.

Honestly this tea suprised me for its price point.
I get a bit of the plum beauty DNA but mostly it give off a nice rich black tea flavor you expect with a good amount of stonefruit taste , after a couple of steep the minerality also comes out so it tapers off well sadly a bit to early for my liking (starts tapering after the 5th Steeping) hence the 4 stars but honestly can’t go wrong with this , especially not at this price point the only other red team I have had this taste from was an ancient tea tree red from sister ai but that is a good bit more expensive
