Sipdown (#3).
The leaves aren’t as pretty as the picture suggests. More broken up than I would like to see, but no matter,
It has lots of cherry, malt oats, dark rich chocolate, it tastes very similar to their laoshan black, but i believe this is stronger in the cherry and sweeter. it’s very soothing and calming, the astringency is strong, but not overwhelming, it’s a nice amount. More chocolatey and rather sugar-like in the mddle steeps, it’s rather a course sweetness, tastes just like if I had added sugar to it. Also marhsmallow, it fades out to wood and oats and some malt, a bit of chocolate, I actually prefer this to the regular laoshan black, but I didn’t properly notice until I took the time to write about them both! I find reviewing teas really helps to deepen my appreciation of them :)
