I finally started working through my backlogged teas from West China Tea’s subscription. This tea session was a subpar experience. I noted recently that West China Tea is a solid company for anyone getting into gongfu’ing tea (yes, they have some teas that rock my world, too). They have palate friendly teas and can help bring the experience to the table!
Aroma: Dian Hong smell (malty, but lacking the sweetness) & unsweetened cocoa
Color: Red
Tasting Notes: Malty, astringent, & a little bitterness. The session lasted 5-6 infusions and was over. I enjoyed steeps 3-4 the most. 1-2 was allowing the tea to open; 5-6 were slightly less flavorful.
Flavors: Malt
