Quick Review: I had the first two sessions in a teapot. I had the first session without any distractions. This tea is so perplexed (the aroma, flavor, etc.), that I felt that I truly needed to study the tea intently.
The dry leaf aroma: Cacao, nuts (pistachios?), and wheat/grain/bread.
The wet leaf aroma: Italian Bread(?)
Flavor Profile: Imagine, if you will, fresh bread with a touch of chocolate (literally a smidgen). The mouth-feel on this is nice. It “blossoms” throughout the mouth and throat.
Superb.
It’s Girl Scout Cookies time, and while working on the second session, I chewed on a Tag-A-Long (peanut butter & chocolate, yes please!); which worked nicely with this tea.
However, I ran out of time to sit and contemplate this third cup, eat cookies, and really enjoy this sample. I plan on buying more to enjoy over and over again. Now I have to run…..Maybe my students will notice that whatever magical brew is in my cup, is the key to my sanity today! Ha-ha.

the only two black teas i like are “rose dian hong” by teavivre and “lapsang souchong” by upton tea imports
“Lapsang Souchong” is splendid. However, I’ve never had the “Rose Dian Hong.” I’m guessing it’s pretty floral? How’s the black tea notes? Earthy? Smokey?
I’d suggest this one to anyone. It’s different than a lot of black teas I’ve had. This has been a great sampler thus far: http://verdanttea.com/teas/5-for-5-tea-samples/
There are a lot of new teas that I haven’t had before, but that makes this more worthy to try. If you’re open to different teas (even black teas), I’d say give it a go. You might find that you like something other than these two (although Lapsang is great tea!).
thanks for the 5 for 5 thing but ill pass :) yeah here is link for the dianhong: http://www.teavivre.com/rose-black-tea/
I added it to my list. Thanks!
