Friends, it’s finally happened. I got my hands on a sample of Laoshan Black! It came from Miss B ‘s tea sale of awesomeness. Thanks so much Miss B! I was beyond excited when I pulled this out of the package. Anyway, THIS TEA. Amazing! I’ve had other teas that had cocoa notes to them, but this actually tasted like chocolate with a toasty taste mixed in. It almost reminded me of a chocolate croissant, but not quite. This had zero astringency and just a tiny suggestion of tannin. Ugh, just so damn good. I got 5 steeps out of it too! This description is kind of falling flat. I can’t do this tea justice. Verdant, please stock the regular LB before I drive over there and buy the expensive one like a fool. K thx bye

Haha! Glad you got to try it, hard to live without after though…Yep, this one lives up to expectations every time!!
Welcome to the LB fan club!
Everyone who tries this tea seems to become a slave to it…including me!
AHAHAHAH. One of us! One of us!
I have been assimilated. Resistance is futile.
MJ…I hate to confess this (although it’s not the first time I have, LOL). I sort of have a collection going of LBs from various harvests. It started with hoarding, for fear of running out, but lets just say I won’t run for awhile, & one of these days I’ll finally get around to doing a comparison of various harvests. Except I still haven’t ordered any of the current one, guess I’d better get on it!
