Tasting notes

• brews a beautiful golden liquor with a sweet, honey aroma
• flavour is also sweet and reminiscent of honey, with some fruitiness on the back of the palette
• has a cooling effect on my mouth
• flavour is somewhere between delicate and robust
• zero tannins or astringency
• absolutely delicious can't wait to drink more

when brewed gongfu style the sweet honey notes are very prominent in the first few steep, mellowing out into more classic black tea notes in subsequent steeps.
