A black tea varietal ? ... very interesting- another reason not to compare.<br /><br />It is cheap and a very very good tea for the price. There was something about this tea that one quite enjoyed, something hard to pin down.<br /><br />Thanks for the info,<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-47288151735114329432010-08-18T09:19:52.191-07:002010-08-18T09:19:52.191-07:00Great review.

The tea is rather bland and lacks the energy of a true high mountain tea, but if some sources are to be believed, the varietal that is being used to produce this tea is a hybrid Taiwan black tea varietal (Hong Yu #18), which could explain a lot about the taste.<br /><br />I followed your link to the company site and saw that they sell this product for what amounts to $5.50 for 250gr. That is insanely cheap, and makes this tea a better value than even many mainland oolongs. <br /><br />Good find.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758040731026166149noreply@blogger.com
