A rare China tea crafted by masters to produce an astonishingly sweet black loose leaf tea. Made from very young and tender spring leaves and golden buds that have been carefully kept whole during hand rolling.
Tasting Notes
Remarkably smooth with flavours of rich toffee, butterscotch and vanilla. Like White Silver Tips, these spring buds are full of the sugars stored by the tea plant over winter. These tender shoots give the tea an extraordinary sweetness, unlike any other black tea.
The tannins in this black tea are very low and the mouthfeel is clean and silky.

September Sipdown Prompt – a tea from China
This is one of my favorite teas from China right now. It steeps quickly at a low temperature so everything about making it is faster in that respect. I can make three steeps so I only need one teaspoon for breakfast, making it last longer. Even making three steeps, it is ready faster than some other teas I enjoy at breakfast and I don’t have to wait too long for it to cool enough to sip.
Although the color of the tea isn’t very dark, the flavor is rich and full. It is one of the creamiest black teas I have had. It will definitely be a re-order, probably something for Ashman to put under the Christmas tree.
Heya Ashmanra, did you get your order in? I just tried to order some and they seem to be SOLD OUT! I guess it really is as good as you say!
Not yet! I still have a bit of this one but Lost Malawi only has about one more teapot full left. I hope they still have some!
I just ordered. I was able to get Lost Malawi and I bought Earl Grey for the simple reason that the tin artwork is gorgeous and I am weak. I had a Keemun in the cart to try but it must have sold out before I could check out because I was forced to remove as it said there were no delivery options available to me. I tried to put it back in and the listing was changed to sold out. Another time. I really shouldn’t have bought ANY more tea but I am justifying it one way or another!
This is probably the finest black tea I’ve tried. It’s strong and malty, with a long, sweet, fruity aftertaste. It can be brewed at least twice, with the second brew bringing out more of the delicate sweetness and less power. The second brew should probably be done for slightly longer than the first.
Take comfort in your fishie cup! I hate sad endings :(
oh well i got the 31 golden moon tea sampler yesterday so im taking comfort in that ;) but ill surely order a tin of this one some day
I can’t wait to start seeing your GM reviews :)
