From Grand Tea

The word ‘souchong’ literally means ‘little variety’ or subvariety. Yixing Souchong black tea is a very tasty black tea that produced and consume in Yixing area. The liquor holds a rich reddish color with good clarity and flavor is complex with a prominent roasted flavor.

Very nice surprise from Grand Tea. This black tea was supposed to be a inferior quality from the classic ones of the Yunnan province but it hit me hard with his fantastic flavor!
Is basically pure liquid chocolate, a dark one, delicate black chocolate. I tries to get the most out of it and during a gong fu brewing, forcing the second infusion I could get among the cacao also a clear note of licorice. If I should find a defect, this tea is lacking a bit of complexity but surely is a lovely treat to yourself when you need something good!
