Formosa Red #18Taiwan, Black Tea

Very sweet fudge-like smell from the dry leaf that's different from the typical sweet scent of Yunnan black teas. This is yet sweeter, more herbal and floral, and higher in tone. Medium-sized wiry leaf is mostly black. Brews quickly with lovely bitter herbaceousness and a smooth sweet taste. The wet leaf is large, brown, with serrated edges, and smells delightfully intriguing with even more saturated caramelized herbal notes. About 3 strong infusions from the $3 sample shown here. Unique flavor, tremendously appealing, will buy again. ❤️
This tea is from Red Blossom.
