Today I have been catching up on my Global Tea Hut samples. I drank the tea sent in March, the 2016 “Golden Thread” Liu An BLack Tea. This tasted very much to me like a regular black tea but perhaps a bit sweeter. There was some bitterness and some maltiness to this tea. A sweet note did develop by the eighth steep. Kind of a weak fruity note. This is an interesting tea to drink. I always thought Liu An would taste very much and more different than a black tea but this one had a great deal in common with black tea.

I steeped this eight times in a 100ml teapot with 7g leaf and boiling water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 minute.
