Vendor Notes
This premium black tea opens with a delicate aroma of malt, deep honey, and orchid, entwined with notes of ripened stone fruits like apricot and peach. The crystal-clear, golden-red liquor presents a velvety, silky mouthfeel with a clean rock-sugar sweetness, leading to malty grain and mature woodiness on the mid-palate. A lingering caramelized aftertaste and salivation-inducing Hui Gan round out each sip.
