Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
This Taiwanese black tea uses the Shan Lin Xi cultivar, usually made into oolong, to produce a rich and clean cup of black tea. A body of moist dark wood and cacao blends with an adornment of dried blueberries and roses. A peaty afterglow rounds out this bold but very smooth black tea. Strong enough to stand up to milk but excellent on its own.
