Thank you Cavocorax for the sample of this tea. I am realizing that my tastes have changed enough that I enjoy straight blacks. However, my palette is yet to have developed enough to distinguish all the subtle nuances of the teas. Consequently, they all taste the same to me: malty, sweet, and delicious but still the same. Perhaps I should try them side by side and that will point out the differences but as it stands now, as embarrassed I am to say it, I can’ really tell them apart from one another.

It seems that, just like any tea, time and trials will do the trick. I’m excited to see your notes on this adventure.
I think I may do a side by side by side comparison of this, PTA, and Jin Pin to see which I prefer of the three. And perhaps I shall toss Lord Petersham in too as that was another that I found tasted super similar.
I love doing side by sides. I rarely actually end up doing them, but they’re enjoyable when it happens.
I’m kind of in the same boat, for the most part
One day. One day we will all be able to try the slight differences of all the teas.
I hope so! It’s frustrating not to be able to. Like being denied membership to a very exclusive club, haha
@VariaTEA – My most recent parcel to you have a straight black in it that I’m confidant you’ve yet to try! I haven’t had it recently but I remember it being very malty. Hope you like it when it makes it to you!
Yay! Try all the teas!
