云南凤庆滇红 蜜香金丝红茶 100g/3.5oz Golden Monkey Black Tea Yunnan - Chinese Tea Yun Nan Dian Hong - Golden Needle - Gold Tips Dianhong Tea

I like this tea, as the other reviewer said, and don't feel cheated. Be aware that the 100g promised INCLUDES packaging. Raw tea weight per bag was about 90g.

I’ve been making this in a gong fu cha style, but treating it more like an oolong than as a black tea: 185ºF water temperature, 30 seconds for the first two steepings, and another 10 or 15 seconds for each steeping after that. It’s low tannin, and has a flavor and smell that reminds me a bit of dried dates, a bit of old chrysanthemum flowers, a little of a drying late autumn wild meadow. It has none of the “forest floor” earthiness of Yunnan pu erh teas. I would be interested in seeing how other people are brewing it! Please post a review!

When you want a delicious light and sweet tea, this is it. Almost no astringency, you can steep it forever. Not as robust as the Indian Assams, which I favor, but a nice occasional change with probably a bit less caffeine.
