Bags of muscle Review by David

Rating

A rich, robust black, with bags of muscle and endurance. A good bracer for the morning, especially cold chilly mornings, suffuses you with warmth and cheer on your way to work. You can make it in little clay pots and sip it, or why not have a mugful and gulp it? This is a black in which a spot of top-of-the-milk wouldn't go amiss, smooth velvet, or maybe stronger, say corduroy. Easy to make, can't go wrong with this. A real general-purpose tea that just keeps on infusing. And at what a generous price! (Posted on 11/26/11)

This Is Why I Love Red Tea Review by Z

Rating

Yunnan black, is a outstanding red tea. The flavor is very mellow, with little to no astringency, and has caramel and cocoa notes, with a substantial mouth feel. This tea is great in the morning as a breakfast tea, as well as throughout the day. Also when converted into iced tea it performs remarkably well, and is great during the summer for a refreshing treat. Yunnan black, is a great introduction to the range of red teas. I find it a great alternative when I am tired of drinking other tea types. In addition it is relatively affordable, which makes it all the more appealing. Furthermore I have found that whether you brew it for only a few seconds, or allow it to steep fully, the tea is still very robust no matter how you prefer it. This is a satisfying red tea, and will certainly be something you can enjoy it for years to come. Tremendously recommended. (Posted on 4/23/11)
