90 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5E. Alex Gerster (66 reviews) on Oct. 15th, 2011
Jingmai Mountain produces some amazing teas, and this one from Samovar is no exception. They are right on the money when they describe the taste and aroma as: "Deep and malty with hints of baked, bittersweet chocolate and raisin sugar. Lightly roasted body with a slightly sweet finish."
Optimal brewing is with spring water just off the boil for 3.5 to 4 minutes. More time makes it more astringent, but still a nice brew. I can get at least three decent steepings out of the leaves, which makes it a better value since 100 grams for $19 is a bit over my budget.
