Chocolate and nectar sweetness with floral notes that build into honey and sweet fruit. Finishes warm and satisfying.
The dry leaves consist of tightly twisted black strips with abundant golden tips throughout. The appearance is glossy and well-processed. Opening the package releases a strong chocolate aroma mixed with sweet pekoe fragrance. The golden tips indicate careful selection of young material.
Steeping produces a bright red-orange liquor with clarity. The first taste brings nectar sweetness and floral notes together. Chocolate flavors develop in the mid-palate, adding depth to the initial sweetness. The finish shows fruit character with honey undertones. The texture is smooth without astringency. Multiple steeps maintain the chocolate-floral balance with good body throughout.
From Yingde City in Guangdong Province, known for producing black varieties with distinct chocolate character. Traditional processing enhances the natural sweetness of the cultivar. Suits those wanting blacks with chocolate notes and full body rather than brisk, tannic styles.
