A premium black tea (Congou) from Fujian province, with a bold, attractive leaf style, generously laced with golden buds. The subtle aroma has delicate notes of cocoa and spice. The liquor is flavorful and complex, with a full mouth feel. Highly recommended.

87 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5Alex Zorach (1448 reviews) on May. 28th, 2011
Aroma toasty and caramely, like the crust of a pastry. This tea is so reminiscent of pastry that if I close my eyes, I almost picture there being a baked good, rather than a cup of tea, in front of me.
Dark, rich, but with a pleasingly smooth flavor. Finish leaves a surprisingly lightness on the palate, and a faint peppery quality. The finish is suggestive of rice.
This tea would be outstanding for people who prefer very smooth, yet complex black teas. From my perspective, one of the best black teas I've tried yet.
