Native Cultivar ReserveTaiwan, Black Tea

Lightly sweet scent from the dry leaf with a curious rubber balloon nuance. Smaller, delicate, consistent leaf. My sample looked more uniform and with fewer stems than the leaf in Red Blossom's photo. Complex herbal aroma from the infusion with a true raspberry expression that later transforms into fresh lemon peel. Greenish-brown wet leaf with serrated edges, smaller than #20 but still very pretty. $6 3g sample shown here lasted only 2-3 infusions and 2 oz would cost $44.

This tea is from Red Blossom.
