Gunpowder beads expand wonderfully, giving reddish hue.
Beautiful aroma, with plenty of jasmine and earthy notes.
Assertive, earthy taste, with distinct astringency and slight bitterness.
Really good tea. Too bad it’s probably very hard to find. Mine was brought to me as the gift from Taiwan.

I drink tea almost all the time.
However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.
1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…
2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.
I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
