Черный чай со старым деревом Гуанси

I've had a lot of tea in my life and this blew me away. First, the leaves are very whole and long. They wouldn't fit in a cup-sized ball infuser. You need a teapot sized infuser or gaiwan or brew it in an appropriate sized vessel and strain, which is what I did. It'd be a shame to break the leaves up.

Doing it gaiwan style gives it the most infusions. But I tried it in a teapot infuser as well and the first 3 infusions were fantastic.

It's a black tea but the soil, the trees, the climate, and the process culminate in an incredibly smooth, balanced, and nuanced brew. If you have a discerning palate you will be pleased, and I'm convinced a novice tea drinker would notice the difference. I've had no black tea like this before. By the time it reaches the U.S. the leaves are more broken and I have no idea why there is such a chasm between this and what I've tried previously (don't get me wrong, they are good but not this good). I'm now curious about their other offerings.

This ITEAWORLD Guangxi Old Tree Black Tea is a tribute to authentic organic Chinese loose leaf teas. From the first steeping, the richness of its flavor coupled with a profound depth of taste becomes evident. Beyond its luxurious aroma and flavor, its quality clearly signifies its premium standing. Without any added sugar, this tea not only promises a delightful taste but also health benefits, embodying the best of both worlds. For those who have a discerning palate or even for those who simply wish to indulge in a fine cup of tea, this product stands out as an exceptional choice. With each cup, I find myself more enamored by its taste and richness. It's more than just tea; it's an experience in itself.

I don't have a lot experience in tea, but it smells and tastes very nice.
