This tea is a sample given to me by an aliexpress seller. She left no particular identification on it except to say it's a Dian Hong so I can't identify which particular one it is. The tea is a broken leaf Yunnan and is quite smooth and less bitter than might be expected for a broken leaf tea.
The tea smells of apricot, leather, bready notes, barley and cream.
50s the tea has mild sweetness tempered by a mild tart bitterness. The flavour notes were of barley, malt, cocoa,leather notes, cream, and apricot. It tastes relatively smooth and dense.
2 min similar to above with a little more density and stronger fruit and leather notes.
3 min. Apricot, honey, cream, tart plum, a hint of barley and light malt.
This tea could easily manage another steep. It is a pleasant and easy to drink everyday tea,but I am not interested in it enough to ask for it to be identified.
