This is my favourite and one of the best black Chinese teas I have ever tasted. Even in the dry leaf it has the
wonderful aroma of chocolate covered Turkish Delight, more when infused and the taste reminds me of Bournvita,
with its silky blend of real cocoa and malt. The appearance of the fine, golden tipped, tightly twisted leaves is also
an indication of the respect this tea has in China's tea market. These unique characteristics are only possible to
achieve when the weather conditions prior to the picking season have been perfect. Even then, the art and skill of
the tea master who makes the tea will be the decisive factor in producing a tea like no other amongst the black tea
varieties of the world. It is very fitting that this should be the case as Meng Ding Mountain in Sichuan is believed to
be the birthplace of tea. I really like to eat a chocolate brownie with this tea as it really helps release the sweet, rose
notes in the cup!
