Scarlet 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.

A good way to start the day, but Zayton doesn't have a lot of length or complexity for Gong Fu brewing. Might be better brewed Western-Style (or Grandpa).

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.

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.

Black tea in wood fired stoneware
(I usually only brew young raw puerh in Duchek Rye stoneware.) My initial impression is it makes a huge difference, smoothing the rough edges of the tea. Maybe a little too much?

It has the fruity character I associate with Yunnan sun dried black tea and good durability/length of flavor. A good zippy morning cup.

White2Tea's "Daily Jinjunmei" is one of those (though it is from roughly the same region as "real" jinjunmei). Dark stonefruit, herbs, and brown sugar are my tasting notes for Daily Jinjunmei from White2Tea.

This 2019 Shai Hong Cha I brought home is a sun-dried black tea made from wild tea trees in Wawee’s jungles. Its flavour is as wild and beautiful as its origin—smooth, floral, with hints of honey and dried fruit.

Qimen Red Tea
This is one of my go-to teas. It never disappoints.
Taste: Smooth, malty sweetness w/ notes of brown sugar, caramel, & subtle floral/smoky undertones
#QimenTea is known for its distinctive “Qimen Fragrance”

Black tea in a curious bowl
Last of the 2022 version of Farmer Leaf's house made Jingmai (very) small batch black tea (#2). I think they mostly make black tea out of their Jingmai leaves to have it to drink themselves and sell the excess.

A rare find! Farmer Leaf’s house-made Jingmai black tea! Jingmai’s signature florals and honeyed malt meet the depth of sun-dried oxidation. Rustic, smooth, and crafted for those who truly appreciate the leaf. How’s the mouthfeel? Silky or brisk? #ShaiHong #JingmaiTea #HongCha

"Yanhong Black" is an "everyday black" Fujian tea from White2Tea. I.e. reasonable price, available in larger bags, interesting enough to drink every day, but not over complex.

OK, I ordered a new batch of Honey Needle today from White2Tea. Here's hoping it makes it into the US!

Stomach a little off this morning, couldn't face serious Yunnan black tea. Went with a soothing bud heavy Fujian black tea instead, 2022 Silver Bud Red from White2Tea.
