Formosa Red #20Taiwan Black Tea

Same wonderful sweet scent as #18. Larger, very attractive dry leaf. The wet leaf is dark green at first, then turning more brown. The flavor is less herbal than #18 and there is a melon note instead. Another taster detects green peas. Delicious and surprising but the $3 sample shown here produced only 2 infusions and the 3rd was thin.
This tea is from Red Blossom.
