I very much enjoyed this tea! I agree with other reviewers that the taste reminds me of autumn leaves, however the smell is like a strong apple cider vinegar, which makes for a stimulating brew.

Has the usual shou qualities that I love — slick and oily texture, earthiness. Mild sweetness and has a great color, super dark red.

Wow! Love this one. Next to Yunnan Sourcing’s Green Dragon for my favorites. Strong and reminds me of fresh, healthy compost. Smells so good and woodsy out of the bag too.

Decent daily drinker, as expected and advertised. Tastes a lot like a red (aka black) tea, so not my favorite gong fu style but that’s alright.

Flavors: Cacao, Stonefruit

This is one of the most flavorful black teas I have ever had, and my FIRST white2tea tea. It came in the monthly tea club box for March. Deliciously milky and malty, and would make a great morning beverage brewed western style, but is still a treat gong fu as well (like I did).

Flavors: Malty, Milky, Sweet Potatoes

This was a fine tea to enjoy for my morning, but nothing to crow about. I recommend it because it is a good quality tea, but not a super favorite by any means. Gets nice and dark in color, average mouthfeel, but not very aromatic at all and does not have a super distinct or bold flavor.

Flavors: Cola, Sweet

One that I have had in storage for a while and drank before but have not reviewed yet. Drinking the last of what I have this morning. Dark like cacao, mildly smoky, it reminds me of a summer campfire. Pleasant mouthfeel that is not super thick but not too “watery” thin. Will probably need to buy this again in the future if possible.

This has been a wonderful experience to have the past couple mornings. Starts off well, almost like a red tea, but then becomes thicker and more woody the more I drink it. In the end, it leaves me satisfied like I ate a hearty meal. Would actually be a good daily drinker.

Tasted a bit too much like a chlorinated pool for me. Other notes include autumn leaves, at least a fall mood like maple and brown leaves.
