A lovely black tea from the Wuyi Mountains, where black tea was developed. Dry Leaves: Fairly large twisted black leaves Liquor: Medium brown Aroma: Nice dark fruit aromas with hints of smoke (it is from the Lapsang area) Caffeine Level: Caffeinated Body: With the big leaves it is light to medium bodied Flavors: This is a slowly made tea from prime leaves. They are slowly rolled and left to oxidize in covered bamboo baskets that allow a limited amount of oxygen to contact the leaves. This allows for the dark fruit flavors to develop. Brewing Time: 4 to 5 minutes Brewing Temperature: 212° F
