The description of this tea is pretty good. There is lots of cocoa upfront with the floral notes emerging in particular as the cup cools, which is when its richness becomes most apparent. I found that preheating the mug with boiling water before brewing is necessary to extract the tea's full profile. Wonderful tea, thank you!

A full-bodied tea with a deceptively luxurious texture. The reveal of its deep, dark chocolate character leaves just enough space for soft, floral aromatics to float on top like a confectioner’s signature.
Harvested and produced April 14-20 by Mr. Li Shiding in Yanxi Town, Anhua County, Hunan Province. It’s a one bud, one leaf pick of the Zhuyeqi cultivar growing at 2,800 feet.
