ChaWuWarmSun [A] FengQing DianHong Black Tea,3.5oz/100g,YunNan Black Tea,Big Leaf Arbor Tea.

This is a delicious tea at a reasonable price. It is hard to imagine someone who loves tea not to enjoy this one. FengQing does have its characteristic flavor and I like it.

if they complaining about this lovely tea, they got nothing better to do. if you're taste is so refined, go spend $10 an ounce, hah! people love to sound like they are better than the rest of us. this tea is fantastic. don't spoil yourself too much, you'll end up sounding like a snoot

Summary: Needed to restock my loose leaf black tea. Got this, and a Vadham english breakfast. This one costs 2-3X as much as the vadham bulk tea on sale, but it's at least 5-10X better. Will be chucking the vahdam bulk bag and re-ordering this one. Looking forward to trying out all the other ChaWuWarmSun teas.Details: Lovely yunnan black tea with long, coiled black and golden leaves. Creating a rich and balanced brew, and leaves that can re-brew multiple rounds. Not too hard on the stomach as well. I usually order from boutiques and wait weeks for delivery, so it's great to be able to find decent quality tea continently on amazon. Came in a black vaccum sealed back, inside of a cardboard packaging. I will be using this as a daily drinker.

A bit of an earthy flavor, slightly sweet with a dry finish. It's an nice change from my normal Yunnan gold.

I've brewed this with both the gongfu method and the western method, experimented with different steeping times and ratios of leaf to water, tried multiple infusions, doing a first rinse of the leaves, etc, but despite being very fragrant and pleasant smelling and having a beautifully colored tea liquor, I can't get it to show the bold, malty taste you'd expect from a Dianhong. Drunk neat, the flavor is muted but pleasant, but mixed with milk as suggested in the description, it becomes flat and muddy and loses even that hint of caramel maltiness. I preferred the "Chinese Breakfast Tea" from Numi, which is in fact 100% Dianhong according to their customer service department, and in my opinion perfectly exemplifies the combination of caramel, malt, and floral notes that you'd expect from a Dianhong, as well as being improved rather than muted by milk and sugar, like a good breakfast tea ought to be.

My pictures show 5 grams before and after brew. I was able to get 7 brews before the taste started to really fade but it never got bitter! For testing, I got up to the 9th brew and it was still drinkable. Don't let the zero reviews fool you with this high quality tea. I was hesitant at first because of this reason but being a big tea drinker, I took my gamble. The way this tea makes me feel is worth every penny. A side tip; Cha Wu WarmSun Tea Store is never off with the quality they provide. If you purchase A grade, you will receive A grade. I've had this problem with other tea companies but Cha Wu WarmSun delivers good quality Chinese tea.

I bought it to make milk tea. It tastes good!

Cha Wu {B} - I agree with an earlier review on chemical taste! Whether by design or not, tastes much like vinyl outgassing you often get from kitchen appliances that contain plastic. Does not taste like any of the other "Dian Hong" teas I have in my current inventory. I won't be buying this one again.
