From An Hui province. Long, slender leaves with exceptional quality. One of the finest black teas from China. Milder and more complex than traditional Keemun style teas. Exquisite flavor and aroma. An exceptional value among teas of this style.

Smoke. Huigan. Gauchos. Maté.
Got this as I am still seeking the right Keemun Mao Feng for me.
This is nicely smokey and rich with underneath deeply below a pleasing black tea acrid feel in the back of the throat. Sweetness and honey colors at the roof of mouth. Moderate astringency.
This is a dark rich tea without being. Too heavy. In fact, I’d like a bit more weight so I may try later brewing with a bit extra leaves. But this may really be the perfect balance. Experimenting is good, though.
Very nice. Might be a standard for me.
Flavors: Heavy, Malt, Smoke, Sweet
