This black tea is a lot different than the black teas I have drank from China or Taiwan. It has that nice golden copper like color. The flavor has notes of spice in it and what I considered a citrus-y taste too. Combined it reminded me of this Thai spicy instant noodle's soup from a brand called MAMA. It is delicious.

This is a bold black tea that comes with a strong taste. Liquor has a dark golden copper-like hue with an immediate sweetness and a touch of earthy bitterness. The aftertaste has a mild tartness and slightly floral. Wet leaves smell sweet of smoked sugar. This tea is strong enough to go with all sorts of sweet or savory accompaniment. I personally find the natural sweetness of this tea is more apparent when paired with a cheesy and salty rice cracker snack.

Excellent. As another reviewer noticed, there is a taste of potato, like raw potato slices. The aroma reminds me of a more delicate English breakfast tea, with sweetness in the finish. A little touch of chocolate or cinnamon. Soothing and enjoyable.

I do love the nutty taste that comes with it, usually i find black teas to be pretty strong but this one was quite light and was well enjoyed by family. It has a similar smell as yunnan gold but a very different taste. I find this tea to be a lot more relaxing compared to yunnan gold but it does last less infusions from my own tests. Still it was more than enough to serve 3 persons!

Highly recommend this tea. Tastes similar to Jin Jun Mei but with less depth in flavor and instead trades that off for a cleaner fruity profile.

A unique flavor for a black tea that you only get from Japan. Fruity. Almost undercurrents of potato. A must try.
