Aaaah, beautiful Taiwanese teas, I l-o-v-e them!
The leaves look like long dark spider legs…not hairy, no worries, just very long.
It’s rich and malty. There’s no chocolate here, it’s all fruits.
Figs and dates, not just “notes” but a true taste, easily identifiable. The presence of honey is to be found, it’s a sweet cup.
It’s a little earthy, with a light astringent finish.
This is always in my cupboard, and now that I’m reorganizing all my tea stash with colour coordinated tins, it’s so easy to find! With this new set up, it will be so much easier to find and have ALL of my teas, instead of always reaching for the same ones…
Flavors: Dates, Fig, Honey, Malt

This sounds amazing, I love figs and dates and dark dried fruits in general. Must try!
Cameron, I so love dried fruits as well! I bought a flavoured fig tea at Harney & Sons recently, it’s a new blend called Capri, it’s so yummy, you’d probably like it also :-)
Haha, I was like “I agree, Cameron, that color coding does sound amazing….oh wait…..you’re talking about the tea. Yeah, that too.”
HHHHMMMMmmmmm – you make this sound like one I should REALLY like – I went and looked in the tasting notes – yep, I wrote about it twice – both were just “yeah whatever”?!? I didn’t write ANYTHING about fruit. What is it with me and Taiwan blacks? Wish I could find the “amazing” that you do. It really does make me happy that you enjoy them. :))
