drank Yunnan Da Ye Hong by Camellia Sinensis
1443 tasting notes

CS added this as a sample to my order and I couldn’t be happier! Also, the package I received is called “Yunnan Da Ye Organic” (https://camellia-sinensis.com/en/yunnan-da-ye-organic/2261), but I put the note under here, so hopefully this is correct.

This tea is wonderful. It’s similar to Teavivre’s Bailin, but somehow smoother? Like drinking the lightest malty silk with hints of sweetness.

I would 100% pick this up in a full size, once I sip down some other straight teas I have around.

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
