This is a good-quality unflavored black, but to me not the great standout that the Black Pearl is. Has some low-key fruit flavors and beautiful whole leaves. The little card that came with the tea says that it it comes from a late harvest, so the fermentation process begins naturally before the leaves are plucked. Interesting. Next time I make this, I think I’ll try using slightly more leaves and see if I get stronger fruit notes.

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Not Really My Style:
spices (except for ginger. ginger rocks)
chai (because, you know, the spices)
rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
those smoky teas, like lapsang souchong, though once in a while I’ll need something really strong and then I like them.
