Thank you, Sil, for a sample of this!
I can’t say I’m a fan of Indian teas. Maybe I’ve never had a great one, but they do not interest me. But Taiwanese teas, those are amazing. Love those. So let’s see what happens.
Hmmm… dark hint of cocoa. Mineraly. Veeery smooth. A hit of floral sweetness.
The taste is a like a cross between a dark oolong and Chinese black tea. Is this a result of where the tea was cultivated? I don’t think assam from India tastes like this.
Anyways, tasty but not too interesting. I do think my fascination of black tea is slowing down. I’m gonna go back to basics with some green teas. Maybe it’s a seasonal thing. :)

I feel the same about green, I should take more time to appreciate them now.
I was actually thinking the same, or maybe of doing a green/white tea day once a week…still thinking about it.
yes, I am picky with green teas, they shouldn’t have any astringency…I can bear some in blacks but none in greens !
Also, if I drink green tea on an empty stomach, I will throw up, but I can usually enjoy a cup of black tea before breakfast without nausea.
I really only truly enjoy Japanese greens. And it will be easy to drink them when it gets warm as they make fantastic cold brews. :)
hmmm i’ll have to pay attention to your tasting notes and see if any of them inspire me to try a green cold brew. I’m pretty sure i’ve never tried a straight green as a bold brew.
I might not log it since I’ve had them before, but anything from Den’s is a good bet.
Hmmm…I’ve never done a green cold brew, or really even tried green tea over ice
It’s good! All smooth and sweet without the astringency people fear from greens. :)
