Erik EllestadScarlet Floret from White2Tea is a Fujian black tea, and a pretty classic example of the style of black tea made in Fujian at that. High scent, like plum or cherry blossom, low astringency, little bitterness.
W2T calls Zayton Black, "a throwback traditional style of black tea". It is a bit burly, somewhere between a Fujian and Dian Hong in style. A little fruit, a little savory. A good way to start the day, but doesn't have a lot of length or complexity for Gong Fu brewing. Might be better brewed Western-Style (or Grandpa).
Press pot brewing Kuura Corp Go Juice "all day every day" Yunnan black tea. Nothing fancy.
Experimenting with a potential new simple travel tea set, strainer and pyrex beaker. Happily, the 250ml beaker fits snugly inside my travel electric kettle. (RiYueTan Sun Moon Lake Taiwanese black tea via Mud and Leaves.)
Every once in a while a lemon or two on our tree is spared by the rats. Somehow, they become enormous and sometimes they are monsters. The tea is Lumberjack Breakfast from White2Tea, a heartier everyday Fujian blend.
Farmer Leaf JingMai Sun Dried black tea is always a good way to start the weekend.
Yunnan black tea is always a good way to get Saturday off to a rolling start. According to the scribbling on the label this is "J.m Sun Black 202n" and I know it is from Farmer Leaf. Patrick's handwriting is sometimes hard to decipher. I think this is, "Autumn 2022 JingMai Gushu Sun Dried Black Tea".
Zhenghe Red from White2Tea, Fujian varietal usually used for white tea was used to produce a black tea.
Zhenghe Red from White2Tea is a Fujian tea. It is a black tea made from a varietal usually used for Fujian white tea, "Zhenghe Dabai". Darker herbaceous and fruit flavors, more raisins than stonefruit.
There are advantages to compulsively including additional bags of tea you enjoy in orders. For example while everyone else complained to White2Tea about them not making Daily Jinjunmei black tea last year, I could quietly drink down my 4 bags (and distribute some to friends)...
