My first straight black! I bought 10g of this along with 10g each of their Nepal Black, Shikubo Sencha, and Gyokuro…. And I’m trying this one first! Making an attempt to get into straight teas c;
First thing I notice is that its ridiculously sweet! I kind of can’t believe it. Its like an earthy, caramel-honey flavour with a hint of earthy grass – no bitterness at all. Sort of simple flavour profile. Hot damn.
I realize DavidsTea isn’t the best, but at least now I know that Yunnan style blacks are something I should continue to try! Really delicious.Edit: Getting a bit of this weird cocoa and coffee nib aftertaste now, hmm
