Not normally a fan of black teas to a great degree, but these W2T ones have been interesting so far. This one didn’t turn quite a beautifully red as the last one I tried, stayed a little more orangey-brown. Still tasted good. Interestingly, the dry leaf smelled kind of roasted/nutty to me. Wet leaf more malty than anything else. Tasted yams, some resinous, piney flavors. Not smokey at all to me. Lasted about as long as I’d expect a black tea to last. This is certainly the freshest black tea I’ve had – not sure exactly what it would be like if it rested longer. I don’t know how black tea develops in short term situations after production – or long term for that matter.

Flavors: Malt, Pine, Yams

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

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
