From Klasek Tea

Black tea from the village of Samcholing in the central highlands of Bhutan from China type bushes grown at an altitude of 1800 m since the 1950s. Dark brown, fully oxidized, regularly rolled leaves with a pleasant, sweetly fruity, slightly spicy aroma. Golden, red-orange infusion, fresh and rich fruit flavors with a predominance of orange, peach, rosehip, a trace of cinnamon and a light and interesting astringency in the aftertaste.

Processing of Samcholing Premium Black Tea

A bud and two leaves are harvested from the tea bushes. The fresh leaves wither overnight in a ventilated area. The withered leaves are then hand sorted, shaken, rolled, oxidized and dried to 20% residual moisture. This is followed by 48 hours of gradual oxidation, finishing with a final drying to light baking.

A sipdown! (M: 3 Y: 68) prompt: May 21 — International Tea Day: Any tea that makes you happy!

I prepared remaining amount in the pot and steeped for longer time than usual, but it’s just okay.

It is a fruity black tea, although there are no other ingredients but tea. I do notice rosehip for sure today, but also mentioned peaches and oranges, but only if I know what to look for.

Mouthfeel was very short too, without any prominent note.

Very forgettable tea.
