An attractive dianhong with a pleasant natural sweetness

From the moment you open the bag, you're greeted with an alluringly sweet aroma that hints at the flavors you can expect. This tea offers a pleasant mineral-like sweetness on top of some malty, and floral tasting notes. It starts out subtle at first, but the taste grows and even lingers on the palate once you become accustomed to its unique taste.

This tea is better served with a higher amount of leaves than some others in my experience, around 4-5 grams with about 10-11oz of water yields an enjoyable brew after 3 minutes steeping. With longer steeps each time, you should be able to get at least 3 infusions out of this quantity of leaves.
