I really enjoyed the Umber I tried earlier in the week, so I had to give Crimson a try as well! Based on the name, I would have expected something a bit…flashier, I guess? But this is actually an exceptionally smooth, mellow blend. If I didn’t know it was a blend of a bunch of different kinds of teas, I think I would have pegged it as just a roasted oolong. The flavor is mostly mineral with a touch of nuttiness and a super smooth, lightly sweet finish. Nothing really stands out in a good way, but there are no jarring notes either…no bitterness or astringency or funkiness from the puerh. I honestly can’t decide if it’s perfectly balanced or just a bit boring, but I’m glad I tried it!
