Togo drank 1990's Qian Liang Aged Anhua Hei Cha by TheTea

1001 tasting notes

I got this one as a free sample, I am not sure if it was ever on offer on the website. Unfortunately, this tea takes a while to get going and once it does, it really doesn’t last very long. It has an interesting umami character peeking through the underlying earthiness. Its aroma has notes of nuts, miso, and a hint of peat. The taste is earthy, nutty, and spicy with notes of yeast, tobacco. There is a significant throat warming sensation and the tea’s energy then spreads throughout the body to complement the expanding sweet and cooling aftertaste that includes notes of star anise and licorice.

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
