Tongmuguan One Gongfu Black Tea
Our Tongmuguan One Gongfu Black Tea has a warm, round aroma on an overtone of sun-dried longan with accents of maltose, woodsy spice, caramel and fresh cookies. A persistent floral undertone and silky texture with light hints of cream compliment the malty, full-bodied, smooth infusion. There is a quenching and cleansing sensation to this tea with very light accents of honey, anise, nutmeg and citrus peel rounding-off the long, malty, mouth-watering aftertaste. Few black teas can achieve a smooth AND full body. To have a floral, yet warm aroma with spicy sweetness and the complexity of dried fruit would be a luxury! Tongmuguan One makes it even better by delivering the whole package with a sophisticated balance, yet subtle uniqueness lacking in its peers. Made with a much-modified xiao-zhong gongfu black tea process, this rare batch yields a floral, slightly sweet and complex profile that has some of the best characters from both the oolong and the black tea categories. A must try for a
