I have bought a few teas from Farmerleaf, focusing mostly on the puerhs. But two bags of black teas jumped to my cart too; and I have decided to try again a Jingmai Sun-dried black after 5 years. I have no idea what Shengtai mean, so feel free to educate me.
Anyway… this tea seems to be definitely more robust and stronger black tea than the 5 years old counterpart. Reading that notes now, and this is definitely “darker” tea. In fact, there are woody notes (oak and cherry), dark honey, autumn leaves and spices. Malt isn’t missing and there is long and a little tingling aftertaste, but I wouldn’t consider it bitter or astringent. Strong in caffeine and warming up body and I am feeling cozy after drinking a mug of this.
For the price 12$ / 100 gr; great deal. But sold out now.

My Mandarin is weak but I understand shengtai translates to something similar to ‘grown in a wild way’.

Whoa! I haven’t been expecting any reply to that, rather rhetorical, question.
