these leaves are small, spindly, and black, with slivers of green leaf mixed in. They smell of hay and honey.
I used just over 1 tsp of leaves in 10 oz of water, at 190 for 3 min.
the liquor is a nice amber. It has a slight astringency, but it is not bad. The taste is of hay and fall leaves, with a faint aftertaste of honey.
Not a bad tea, but i prob wouldnt go out of my way to keep this around.
i enjoy reading, anime, animals of all kinds, and giving my girlfriend far, far too much affection >.>
I will apologize now, i am new to teas still, and other than ebay, this is my first time trying to rate and describe things accurately. So try to bear with me as i fumble through describing teas with my undeveloped palate and simple analogies :)
Pleast take the numbered ratings i post with a grain of salt, i think i am just easily impressed, and in love with Chinese reds, so while i may accurately rate one above the other, i might not rate it properly on the scale.
p.s. im a guy despite my pro pic… i just feel alot like Mula… eer, that cartoon character as i learn about tea :)
