Red tea - 2012 - 3 and more stars

This small red tea cake is made from 2012 spring harvest Simao high mountain material. Carefully pressing in Menghai , simple white wrapper. 10 cakes are packed in bamboo tong. Nice dark chocolate fragnance, smooth and sweet with hint of honey.

rich, slightly 'barrique' taste of oak barrels as in wine, balanced bitterness, smooth and strong finish, for the shorter steeping it gives many rich infusions, after second brew the aftertaste is pleasantly ‘smacking’, sorry for the term, but it rarely happens to me, that after black teas has a tut for a while and enjoy its aftertaste

ripe, sweet fruit, distinct darjeeling tones, wild honey, enjoyable aftertaste of overipe grapes
