Mastress Alita’s Monthly Sipdown Challenge: a black tea

This is an easy prompt for me to accomplish. I drink black teas nearly everyday. Working on sipping though this, as it’s not my favorite. (This is also not the 2018 varietal, but I didn’t want to make yet another page for the same tea).

I actually find the rich, chocolate notes less pronounced than in the standard Laoshan black. I’m getting more of the white floral notes, with a hint of chocolate. This also smells sugary sweet- like turbinado sugar.

Flavors: Cedar, Chocolate, Floral, Osmanthus, Sugar, Tobacco
