From Old Ways Tea

A zheng shan xiao zhong with a charcoal roast. This tea is smooth black tea, much like the Da Bo. It is fairly thick, minimally astringent, and is clearly, but not overpoweringly a black tea. The charcoal roast adds some of the depth and presence of a yancha. This is very likely my favorite black tea of 2021.

A disappointing black tea. I got the 2021 harvest of this tea as a free sample from my recent Old Ways Tea order, and while some parts of this tea caught my attention, others really just didn’t meet my standards. The good things first, a beautiful, rich and complex aroma, especially in the wet leaf. Decent cha-qi, making this tea good for a quick buzz or even as a digestive. However, this tea lacked any form of strength and complexity in flavour, and the texture is overly drying, without turning to juiciness. Because of that, the finish & aftertaste was practically ruined as well.

The dryness of this tea and lack of any flavour makes this tea a disappointing one, and not something I’d buy again.
