Togo drank Feng Qing Gold Tips Pure Bud Black Tea * Spring 2017 by Yunnan Sourcing

554 tasting notes

[Spring 2019 harvest]

An elegant Yunnan black tea with a smooth, creamy texture and a nutty/woody profile. In particular, the flavour reminds me of walnut shells, cocoa beans, bread, and cedar wood. There is a nice brown sugar sweetness that comes to the surface especially in the aftertaste. The aromas are not too pungent and besides the classic malty ones include notes of strawberries and fir trees. I also found the cha qi to be quite warming and strong for a black tea of this kind.

Flavors: Baked Bread, Brown Sugar, Cocoa, Creamy, Fir, Malt, Nuts, Nutty, Smooth, Strawberry, Sweet, Walnut, Wood

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 0 min, 15 sec 4 g

Bio

Currently, I am a PhD student at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds.

I have been a fan of green tea for a while and only recently (in 2017) started exploring other kinds of tea in greater depth. I rarely drink blends or white tea and avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied. The one thing that I am currently missing in my collection are teas from India, in particular some Darjeelings.
