The Golden Gunpowder though inexpensive tastes as great as many high price point teas. Using the unique Yun Kang #10 cultivar (a hybrid of assamica and classic sinensis.) The cup reveals a highly dynamic brew, that is malty, sweet, with hints of decadent chocolate. The compact rolling method coupled with lower firing temperatures allow for multiple infusions. Put it deep into your gullet.

Sky samurai and I must be on the same wavelength because just as I went to add this tea to the database, I find it’s already there! I have under leafed this a few times, so today I put 1.5 tsp for 8 oz of water and got more flavor from these tightly rolled tea nuggets. I like that it’s forgiving, you can let it steep longer without getting bitter. It’s not very complex, chocolate yeasty malt is the best descriptor, no undertones or lingering aftertaste. A straightforward tea that is a step down from Happy Lucky’s Golden Monkey, one of my favorites.
Flavors: Chocolate, Malt, Yeasty
Often I forget to use the malty descriptor. Malts were and still are, one of those American past times I can’t stand. Granted I am also allergic to cow’s milk… But that is the main descriptor for this tea. Malty to the core. The longer you let it steep the heavier the malt becomes. The aroma is ripe with earthy tones. Wet leaves, compost, musty. The wet leaves are a beautiful dark chocolate color.
After reading this, I had to go check out Happy Lucky’s website. Looks like fun!
Was Happy Lucky where Bonnie used to go in Colorado?
Ashmanra – yes that’s the one, I stop if I’m driving through, though this last order was all on line. I wonder if Bonnie still hangs out there. Such happy positive people there at the tea house. They have a YouTube channel too, fun stuff.
