Guang Dong Black Tea is a very rare type of
black tea. Long ago, it was a very popular
tea. But now, only a very limited number of
tea manufacturers remain. Moreover there are
too many counterfeits in the market. Some of
them even consist of tea leaves that appear
gold in color. The genuine quality is made
of a specific cultivar called Ying Hong
No.9, which is cultivated from Yunnan big
leaf cultivar (Assam species) by the tea
research institute in Guang Dong Province.
Guang Dong Black Tea gives a subtle sweet
aroma, like honey. The taste of this tea is
mellow, thick and long lasting on your
throat. Unlike to the commercial black tea,
Guang Dong Black Tea does not give a
bitterness taste and astringency. No matter
how long it is brewed, it maintains its
smoothness and mellowness.
This tea is also second to none when you
look for milk tea. Since originally this tea
is very smooth, when it is combined with
milk, the taste is unimaginably smooth; it
gives a very silky feeling meandering down
the throat.
This tea is also a great partner with cake.
Since tea is quite thick and with body, it
is suitable to serve together with a wide
range of cakes. |
