Wow, what a brew! This cake definitely lives up to its name. First, I opened the wrapper to reveal a deep ruby black and gold cake. It had a faint aroma of cacao. Then, as soon as I sunk my pick in the scent of raspberry and cream emitted from this beauty. I was easy with the amount of dry leaves that I used since it was a dark yunnan. I brewed in my gaiwan with anticipation for this lovely treat. It brews an orange and red liquor. The smell of raspberry, cherry, dark chocolate maximize within the wet leaves. The brew tastes of mahogany and cherry. I can hint at undertones of Asian Pear. It is a very smooth sip and deep flavor. I’m glad I picked the spring version, for its very decadent and silky flavor. The best part about this tea is its power. I haven’t noted prominent Qi in Red Teas before today. While drinking this you truly become “Drunk on Red.” Yunnan Sourcing never disappoints.
Flavors: Cherry Wood, Cream, Dark Chocolate, Raspberry
