Infusion: 4g in 330ml for 2-5min.@90deg. C

Dry Leaf Aroma: dried tangerine peel, dried plum, raisins, a hint of malt;
Wet Leaf Aroma: sharp, aromatic, hint of orchid, and chrysanthemum stems;
Liquor: brown-red colour with a mild aroma
Mouthfeel: creamy, moderately viscous, astringent, tannic, with a fresh, lingering and tingling aftertaste;
Taste: strong, mildly floral, mildly sweet, with an undertone of minerality.

Opinion: This is a strong robust tea, with a distinct, characteristically, “Black Tea” taste without the strong spicy-floral notes of some other astringency-forward black teas.
