‘Kinnari Tea’s “Red Elephant” is a black tea from semi-wild tea trees in Xaysathan, Xayabouri Province, western Laos. the initial perception of sweet cocoa and raisin must is soon followed by notes of orange peel and dried fruit. Plums, figs, dates… a universe of flavors, united and elevated to a symphony by an all-carrying sweetness that will last on the palate even long beyond sipping.

ADVENT DAY 10, tea 1/3
Another tea from Laos and again a tea I will need to buy to try it again steeped in different ways. Today I steeped it western, all 5 grams / 300 ml; steeped for 5 minutes.
Even dry leaves are very aromatic after raisins, red grapes and wine; along with cocoa and malty notes.
The mouthfeel of this is amazing, smooth and long; sweet cocoa with red grapes, dates and raisins. Malt isn’t much present in flavours, but sweet grape flavour lingers long in the mouth and rather longer steeping time did not hurt the tea nor my stomach.
Vendor suggests brewing in clay tea pot, but sadly I don’t own any… maybe I will just look after some soon-ish. And putting this tea to wishlist, so I know I just want to try it again. It’s not the cheapest tea, but definitely worth more session and more focus. And yes, it seems it is another winner. And now I am indeed glad I decided to give this calendar a try.
