Sample from Yezi Tea I am trying this morning…
I was tempted to gong fu this but am running a bit short on time to get more caffeine into my body! I decided to steep it Western style for 2 minutes.
This is a really lovely red (black) tea. It definitely reminds me of a dark, hearty bread like pumpernickel. Then there is a nice sweetness in the brew, the sweet potato taste some people have picked up on. Chocolate notes are also present. This is really good when you drink it plain, but I also liked it a lot with soymilk added. The creaminess of the milk seemed to enhance this toasted grain quality. Overall this is a really delicious tea and I am adding it to my wishlist. Most of the black teas I have from China are from the Yunnan region, and this is a delightful Fujian tea, I’d love to have it in my evergrowing stash but it is not an inexpensive tea for sure.
This has more of a mellow, soothing energy than a get up and go type of energy. Good for a relaxing morning.

i need to order this one, one of the few i haven’t tried from yezi!
It’s good!
I ordered Ming Hong during the CM sale along with 3 free samples and am eager to try it after reading the Steepster reviews.
I was tempted to buy this myself, of all the Yezi teas it was my favorite so far.
That good news! I wanted a more full-flavored, full-bodied Chinese black.
