I sent my friend Alessandra to China with a little shopping list of teas to get for me while she was there. She went into one shop where the lady was impressed by her tea list and/or her attempts to shop with next to zero knowledge of mandarin that she threw in a sample of this tea. We have no idea what it is.
Mystery Black Tea, China [Black], *** First brew: quite astringent, bitter - a little like DaHongPao
but without its subtler flavours. Light brown-golden colour even
on long brewing Second brew: less long, milder and more flavorful Similar teas: DaHongPao, Aroma Red Robe
