I am a sucker for that laoshan black flavor profile as much as I complain about the value ($8/oz) and the questionable air quality of the region(https://www.chinadialogue.net/article/4775-Seeing-China-s-pollution-from-space). I think this blend is the best way to go value wise and with the addition of the rice it reminds me of kashi cereal which i have fond memories of growing up so this blend almost always puts a smile on my face. A great no fuss tea that travels well(tumbler western brew) and is always pleasant.

Flavors: Baked Bread, Chocolate, Malt

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 4 g 6 OZ / 177 ML

I try to refrain from numerically rating a tea until I have tried brewing at least an oz of it with various different parameters and vessels (hotter/colder water, longer/shorter times, yixing/gaiwan etc)
