I did a red tea tasting, and this is one of the teas.
The tea leaf is slightly small and reddened with roast, malt, and dark wood tones coming off from the leaves. I can hint at a slight mild dry dry cherry tone in the background. I warmed my gaiwan up and placed some inside. The hot leaf gave off an intense scent of strong roast and malt with bittersweet dark coco. I washed the leaves once and prepared for brewing. This tea was filled with heavy dry wood and malt tones. I could taste a slightly sweet flavor with rough vanilla tones, but it was primarily rough and woody. It was a decent tea, but a bit too rugged for me.
