This is my fourth year of trying a Black tea from Farmerleaf. Most of these fall under the medium oxidation and some are more oolong like than others. This tea is probably closer to 90% oxidized. Some of the leaves are a little bit un-oxidized while most are fully.

This tea is a little bit sweet, sour, metallic, and earthy. It has a good complexity to it, but less sweetness than the other black teas Farmerleaf has sold. This a great tea, but I recommend trying the Yingpan Shan tea over it. I compared the this tea with the 2023 Yingpan and I found the Yingpan much more rich and floral than this.

Flavors: Earthy, Metallic, Sour, Sweet

Preparation
Boiling 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 100 ML
