Togo drank Da Hu Sai Village Wild Arbor Black Tea of Yunnan * Spring 2017 by Yunnan Sourcing

999 tasting notes

This is a nice, albeit somewhat unremarkable hong cha. In the smell I get notes of malt, brown sugar, chocolate, nuts, blackberries and sweet pepper. The taste is balanced and can sometimes appear a little flat. I noticed notes of malt, cherry wood, orange zest and bread crust. Aftertaste is not very long and displays even more of the citrusy qualities.

The tea has a medium body with a liquor that’s not very coating, although it has decent thickness. The mouthfeel is a bit powdery, but it becomes smoother when cooled down.

Flavors: Astringent, Bell Pepper, Blackberry, Bread, Brown Sugar, Cherry Wood, Chocolate, Citrus, Grapes, Malt, Nuts, Orange Zest

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 0 min, 30 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
