Black Tea of the Day Continued. This is what I’ve been looking for. It has some of the characteristics of a black tea that I like. Cavocorax wrote in their tasting notes that this might be a poor man’s Laoshan Black. I totally agree with that. It’s obviously not of the same quality as Laoshan Black, but it’s in that family.
This is a decent tea, I could take this to work. I found that it didn’t really steep very well. The second steep was really weak and I didn’t even bother with a third. So all things considering, this doesn’t have the depth of flavor, and you don’t get as many cups out of the leave – this isn’t really that cheap.
The good news is, that I will be looking at other Yunnan Blacks from other sources. This has helped narrow the search. Tomorrow Assam…..

I find that a lot of DAVIDsTEA’s don’t resteep well, so I don’t usually bother anymore unless I steep it for a long time.
Ooooh, Assam! I think Yunnan and Assam’s are my favourite types of black teas. Hope you like the one for tomorrow.
Sorry, I stole your line, but it was so fitting.
I think really that’s all this experiment is all about, I want to be able to say/know which types are my favorites. Will look for better quality once I’ve found those couple of types. Yunnan is one of them. :)) I hope Assam is the other, but will take some oolong with me to work just in case.
I don’t mind at all. :) It means I must have been particularly clever that day! Haha.
And I hope you have fun with the experimenting.
You’re reviews are continuing to be so informative and helpful – I’m going to try this one.
