Grandpa style, smells malty and faintly reminiscent of golden needle Yunnan, but tastes brighter, fruitier and less chocolatey than those teas. Really does remind me a bit of jam. May have to order more of this, seems like a steal.

I brewed this tea grandpa style. It tastes much more like a “typical” Yunnan black tea than the other golden needle Yunnan teas that I have tried. Definitely more astringent than other Tunnan golden needles. A nice middle ground.

I brewed this tea grandpa style, starting with 3 grams and adding a pinch with each infusion.

I drank this tea grandpa-style. I add ~3 grams to a 15 ounce mug for the first infusion, and typically add a pinch/a few leaves to each following infusion.
