Customer Reviews
It took 35 days from my tea order to get to me I suppose you could say the weight was worth it because the tea is excellent. I'm not too happy about the customer service because I wrote three different times asking about the status of my order and never got a response.
I think this tea is especially suitable for afternoon tea time, and it's a perfect combination with some small snacks, such as muffins or nutcrackers! And it's especially relaxing to drink a cup of its aroma, even while reading in the evening.
Brewing this tea is also fairly simple. I like to use a porcelain teapot, keep the water temperature at 90-95掳C, and steep for about 3-5 minutes. The color of the tea is very attractive every time I brew it, and the golden color makes you want to drink it!
All in all, if you're looking for a black tea that's both sweet and full-bodied, don't miss out on this Yingde Black Tea, one sip will definitely give you a taste of Guangdong! 馃専鈽曪笍
This black tea reveals a robust combination of malt and cocoa, creating a full-bodied and enjoyable flavor profile. Warm toasty notes with a subtle hint of caramel sweetness, offering a nice balance. The lingering finish leaves a touch of honeyed warmth, causing you to look forward to each sip.
This beautifully twisted leaf has an aroma of dry desert wood. The golden fuzzy hairs are gorgeous, easily the ones twisted in the dark chocolate-colored leaves. The initial aroma is a bit bready but reminds me a bit more of bread pudding. The taste is delicate at first but then really punches you with some unique notes. They are mellow and refined wheat and rye bread notes with desert dry wood notes. Slight driftwood paired with If you steep longer you'll also find hints of varnish which is fine but steeping for less than 2 minutes seems to reveal the best notes in my opinion. Heck, I'd say it's probably better to stick under a minute. The notes stay pretty consistent and mellow with each steeping. The dry woody notes remain.
I'm not a big black tea drinker but this one truly WOWed me, from the smell of dry leaves to the taste, it's probably my first black tea I actually want to have again!
The dry leaves have a mouthwatering, sweet aroma mixed with some fruity and woody tones too. The taste is sweet as well, which I did not expect at all, no bitterness, fresh and strong, stone fruits, flowers, a hint of wood. A great discovery!
