Black tea from Zheng Shan Tang aka Lapsang Store. Received this complementary can due to delay caused by shipping issues. A sugary, oriental beauty like scent was activated by moisture from my cup, the tea taste of jujube, honey, and flower like they stated on the website, the hydrated leaves are about 1.5 in long. The first time I made it too strong and it tasted like dehydrated jujubes in a I’m straight up drinking Chinese medicine way. Grandpa style also caused the tea to give a dry mouthfeel. Overall this is a nice lapsang, but I need to experiment with it a few more times.
edit: Moving the score from 89 to 93, the tea taste better after a few months of sitting/aging. Now it reminds me of some purple tea I’ve had.
