Crimson Lotus

Product Description:
This is a thick and meaty shou. There are dark chocolate notes with a slight coffee-like bitterness. Dark and inky black like a raven's wing in a moonless night. The ones that offer no reflection and seem to pull in all available light.This tea is a monster. It is hiding in the deep waiting to be called forth. It rises in your cup and provides steep after steep of thick, dark, motor oily goodness. It is rich and thick and luscious and sweet and creamy. It's herbal and earthy and as deep as the Marianas.
Temperature: 208°F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaves have bold notes of nori and moss.
The dark red-brown liquor has an aroma of moss, tree bark, rich soil, and nut shells. The taste is rich, nutty, and earthy with ntes of nut shell, wood, and mineral.
The broth was delightfully thick and rich and full flavored well beyond the initial 3 infusions I prepared for this review.
This tea was purchased by me.
