Made from higher grade Menghai material that was fermented in 2021, this seductive tea reveals a gentle sweetness in layers, wooing you with notes of dark cherry and raw cocoa, and of course a smooth texture. It’s in the name, after all. Underneath the slick first impression is a slight woodiness, and even a touch of bitterness when pushed, although not necessarily noticeable at first. Overall, this is a highly enjoyable and clean ripe that offers a much more dynamic experience than normally encountered in this price range. $0.14/g
