Kawaii433 drank Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea – Golden Tip by Teavivre

351 tasting notes

Additional note:

Sipdown.

Over 300 reviews on this tea, so here are my quick thoughts… It’s good stuff. I always feel that TeaVivre’s teas are underrated. I really enjoyed this batch, and will probably get more. Sweet potatoes, malt, lightly floral, peach and stonefruit, baked bread… Smooth mouthfeel, nice aftertaste.

It was great gongfu style and great with milk this morning (a new & necessary habit I picked up so I can drink some black tea in the morning since my tummy is hating me these days).

Highly recommended.

Flavors: Baked Bread, Floral, Fruity, Malt, Stonefruits, Sweet Potatoes, Yams

Preparation

185 °F / 85 °C

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Sencha, Matcha. I’m currently into Oolong, Black & Pu’erh.

Gongfu cha is the main way I prepare my tea (gaiwan or Yixing teapot). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. I do try some flavored now. I don’t like artificial sweeteners.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia. (Note: I love the teaware from TeaVivre and Yunnan sourcing.) Good experiences with 52Teas, Harney & Sons, Whispering Pines

Flavors I dislike are artificial flavors, especially artificial sweeteners. Strong lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, ripe papaya, sweet honeydew.

Can handle a little of the following: Rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, mint, spearmint, peppermint, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, all fruits except cantaloupe, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
