From Laifufu

This is an ancient tree black tea with leaves from 800–1,000 year old trees growing in the mountains of Yunxian at a 2,050–2,300 meter altitude. Yunxian is an area in Lincang known for its gushu trees (ancient trees not planted by human hands). Usually leaves from such trees are made into sheng puerh, but this is a rare batch of hongcha (literally red tea, but called black tea in the west). This smells amazing with caramelized fruitinessRead more

This black tea has a superb relaxing qi and steeps for a really long time. The mouthfeel is quite smooth and lightly effervescent, but not overly thick.

There are aromas of stonefruits, wood, and vanilla emerging from the dry leaves. The liquor is bitter and herbaceous with a sour bite and sugarcane sweetness. I also found notes of bourbon, yeast, tree sap and moss. The aftertaste is quite biting and pleasantly cooling too.
