BLACK TEA
Ingredients: buds and leaves of Camellia Sinensis var. Assam
Harvest: Spring 2017
Origin: Ning'Er, Simao, Yunnan, China
Tasting notes: oat crackers, roasted walnut kernels, cocoa beans, pepper, polyflora honey
Picked from the first spring harvest in pairs of one leaf and one bud each, the tea is then rolled into the shape of "snails" (bi luo chun). An example of a surprisingly sweet, aromatic and easy-drinking black tea.
A buster of the "black tea is bitter" myth, Bi Luo Chun is recommended for specialty tea beginners.
