The dry leaves have a sweet and spicy aroma with notes of honey and aged wood.
The copper-red infusion has a sweet aroma of ripe stone fruit, honey, and flowers. The taste is sweet, with notes of fruit and honey, mild floral notes, and a hint of astringency.
This is a very forgiving tea with mellow flavor when steeped for 3 minutes and fuller flavor when steeped for 5 minutes. While the flavor is at its peak with the most nuance in the first infusion, the second and third infusions were still delicious.
I have previously reviewed a black tea from Zealong in 2017, so it was an interesting and enjoyable comparison to the current version.
This tea was purchased by me.
