All I can say is that I just love this yunnan tea. Caramel and peppery while being robust and smooth and no bitterness. Hard to ask for much more.

I’m actually getting writers block doing tasting notes. I have really exhausted the superlatives for this great tea. Its just a great yunnan tea.

drank Ceylon Balangoda by The Tea Table

For me a very average breakfast tea, much better than tea bags. It may be my tastes as I have never drank a Ceylon that I loved, the same for Darjeelings. I seem to like yunnan and assam teas. I really see the reason that there are so many types of tea out there. This tea is strong, it gets bitter if you steep more than 3 minutes. It has a little astringency, but it is a drinkable tea.

I really do have to experience this one, and soon! It’s on my Shopping List, thanks to you.

I’ve added this to my shopping list as well, thanks to your reviews :)

The Simple Leaf is, I think, my favorite tea company…the owners are so nice and every single one of their teas I’ve tried has been unique and yummy.
