Classical black tea from the old tea trees of northern Thailand. The factory is certified according to the USDA Organic standard.
In the strong taste of this tea, you can find dried fruits, light caramel, and floral notes. Inexpensive, economical, organic tea. With age prunes and powerful Qi energy will appear in taste.
We recommend drinking this black tea in the morning. It perfectly goes with pastry.
I like this tea; it's become a key part of my morning routine. Its refreshing taste wakes me up and gets me ready for the day. Drinking it boosts my energy levels, exactly what I need in the morning. It also subtly reduces my appetite, making it easier to follow my diet.
It is a very lovely hong cha, nothing extraordinary in taste, BUT it's extremely stimulating tea! Cha qi is strong, but not like hit in your face. I brewed this tea twice when we had hot weather here in Estonia, and no wonder I felt myself like an empty bag, I didn't want to do anything. But after every tea session, I felt myself concentrated and full of energy. So did my wife. Great tea! I'll take more.
I've been looking for a replacement for Dian Hong Gu Shu 2018. The current one is the closest.
A little finicky in brewing - gives a tartness. But the taste is worth it.
Honey-ish aftertaste. Taste good on its own and also together with milk.
A delightful Assam-style black. There are two major Assams: deep chocolate flavored and bright flavored. This is of the latter type. It induces a synesthesia of orange hues and warm light. As the other reviewer says, it's admirably resistant to hard brewing, and it brews at least three times.
