Black Beauty/Mandala Tea -Skysamurai-

NOOOOO!! I thought this was a Lapsang.

It smelled to heavily of campfire smoke I didn’t think it could be anything but Lapsang….

But no… It’s a wonderful black tea And why am I screaming?

Because I dumped a good lot of it in my bone broth that is cooking from yesterdays turkey leftovers. Shame, shame, shame. It really s too bad. This tea is so smooth.

A Keenum style but without the astringency. Aroma of apricots and slightly earthy in the wet leaf. I’m currently on my third steeping and it’s still going strong. I hope my bone broth is amazing.

Description

Black Beauty is a very fitting name for this wonderful tea!  If you are a fan of Keemun style black teas, you will want to try this one.  Most of our customers and myself, now prefer this over the Keemun black.  It is wonderfully sweet, almost chocolatey and little to no astringency present! The tea liquor is clear and longer steepings will give it a slightly red hue.

  1. I don’t know if I have had any of their teas, yet. I’ll have to check. And it’s been a while since having a LS, too, thanks for the reminder 🙂
