The dry leaf exudes a strong aroma of starchy toasted nuts, leading to a wet leaf profile reminiscent of stewed spinach. This tea boasts excellent energy, with a slight umami taste and no bitterness or dryness. It's remarkably easy to drink, with a sweet finish and no unpleasant aftertaste.

Enshi Jade Dew Blooming

From Preston

It tasted simple, savory, and minerally to me in the first brew, but as I kept steeping it, I began to taste more ripe fruit notes in the back of my throat which I enjoyed a lot.

High-value Lichuan Black Tea

EM

I thought it had a light-medium rich body with a VERY complex nutty taste at longer steeps. It had a low but noticeable astringency, and reminded me a lot of a good quality longjing green.
