Vendor Notes
This 2021 Fu Zhuan tea offers a wonderfully complex profile, balancing the deep, earthy notes typical of aged dark teas with an unexpected brightness. Expect rich flavors of chocolate fudge, antique woods, and a hint of leather, beautifully uplifted by sweet bursts of lilac candy, sugared nuts, and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and remarkably soft, leaving a lingering sweetness reminiscent of pear and cotton candy.
