Aaaah, my black malty full bodied tea, how much I love you.
First time I drank Bailin Gungfu, I heard the angels singing! (Pun very intended for Angel at Teavivre!)
It was about three years ago and I was a lot less experienced with tea in general. I remember thinking that I had finally arrived, that this was the reason I kept drinking and trying new teas.
The aroma is so inviting and homey, it’s like having a sniff at fresh baked bread just out of the oven. Think crusty rye bread.
It’s malty with big cocoa notes paired with dark honey…mmm…chocolate croissant.
Everything has been said about this tea, and yet, I felt compelled to review it again.
Only the best teas stand the test of time…this is not a one trick pony, it’s one that keeps coming back to my cupboard.
As I mention in my profile, I am MARRIED to straight blacks and VERY faithful to them…Ok, maybe I do cheat a little…but I always come back!

Reading the “I heard the angels sing.” I immediately picture Angel sitting across from you while you drank this tea and serenading you…tehehe:P
That sounds lovely. :)
Haha! albertocanfly, I’ll have to invite her over someday for a real singing tea session ;-)
Arshness, if you are a fan of this type of tea, I highly recommend it, it’s a classic and it’s very accessible to any tea lover!
I’m totally unfamiliar with that kind of tea. :) Just it sounds nice. I should try it some time.
Looking forward to trying this one—especially after this review! ;-)
I have some of this on the way too
I need to be sure & put this in my basket next time I place a Teavivre order. I’ve been out for quite awhile.
Since you mention buying this one a lot, do the harvests stay pretty consistent?
Or should I ask, did you order this recently and is it as good as usual?
Yes! The harvests are very consistent and I ordered just a few months ago. I never noticed any huge difference from one order to the next.
thanks, good to know! Hopefully more consistent than the Laoshan Black harvests. But I like the Bailin Gongfu better anyway. :D
