Picked up half pound on recent trip to SanFran (and usual stop at Red Blossom). Not a black tea guy at all but this one really blew me away. There’s a very subtle milkiness to the brew and no matter how long one steeps the leaves, the tea never turns bitter. This has resulted in a lot of experimentation and I find that I prefer a longer steep time with much lower temperature water.
Very, very nice tea and I would echo Leland’s comment that, as good as this tea is, I can’t wait to sample the competition grade.
