Backlogging from last night.
I tried adding milk to this tea but it pretty much killed the rich, earthy, cocoa-y flavour of the tea, just leaving behind the tanin-y/smokey flavour (I think it’s what some people are calling cigarette flavour, and I think I might agree with them for all that I’ve never smoked).
Note to self: Yunnan teas and milk don’t mix. DX

I agree – this tea is much more enjoyable without milk.
Ew. Will remember this.
It’s really not an “Ew” thing, it’s just that dairy seems to squelch the flavor of the tea.
Got it in one, Cynthia. :)
@Cynthia Carter Ah. I read “cigarette flavor” and my brain recoils. In any case, I won’t be trying this with milk.
