It’s a sample I just got from Yezi — and I really appreciate the samples. There’s a strong sweet potato taste, with hints of caramel — and very toasty. I haven’t had other jin jun mei teas, so I can’t compare it to anything else. It’s good, but I wouldn’t say I must have it around as opposed to other Chinese black teas. The sweet potato flavor is new and interesting for me. All in all, it’s a very good tea, but not a great one. The taste of sweet potatoes does, however, make me interested in trying out some different jin jun mei teas. to see how they compare. I’d buy this in the future if I found it on sale.
Flavors: Brown Sugar, Brown Toast, Caramel, Malt, Marshmallow, Sweet Potatoes, Toasty

If you like the sweet potato taste, you should try Teavanas capitol of heaven keenum. Im not sure if they are discontinuing it or just refreshing their stock, but i picked up a 1/4 lb for 17 lol. It is quite strong in flavor, and will quickly get to you if you drink it alot, but if you LIKE the sweet potato flavor, you might like this one. I have a tasting note for it if you would like to read, cant remember what exactly i wrote though lol.
Interesting, I’ll be near a Teavana tomorrow — I’ll check whether or not they have it.
If they do, have them make you a cup first. like i said, it is STRONG, and you may or may not like it.
I find that Yezi’s Yi Fu Chun is probably their best black tea from the bunch. It’s not fussy, and tastes so chocolaty rich.
Good to know — I’ll have to try that one.
