44 Tasting Notes

The finest Bailin black tea I drunk. Strong chocolate notes with sweet burnt sugar tones. The tea is good for 6 and more steeps. The energy flow into the body is unbelievable! I am going to give it 100 points. The tea is truly remarkable.

Outstanding! The best temperature seems to be about 96C and the steeping time about 3 minutes, not longer. Rich, clear taste of raisins and almonds. The second steep is the finest.
The leaves need to be rinsed quickly in a hot water before steeping, or the tea may taste bitter.

First steep: temperature 100C. My feeling is that the tea is very good for the price, however it tastes a bit too sharp. Should be more fragrant. Overall great tea for daily drinking even if it tastes a bit flat. Hopefully next steep will be better.
Second steep: lowered the temperature to 95C. The leaves suddenly unfurled producing sharp yet very pleasant tasting sensation and a rainbow of aromas. Just wonderful. Certainly a keeper.
