Vendor Notes
This black tea, crafted from the Jinguanyin cultivar, presents a bright and lively character. It offers crisp, apple-like acidity that gives way to an elegant floral bouquet of peony, rose, and hyacinth. Nuances of honey and a hint of cinnamon spice add depth to its light, agile body, which also carries soft malty and savory undertones, reminiscent of a greener oolong.
