Ancient Yunnan, 1st Grade

I wasn't expecting a loose leaf to be this sweet without any added sugar, but the natural sweetness comes through on the first steep. The faint spice hints linger nicely in the aftertaste. Three cups later and I'm still thinking about it.

The subtle spice notes really set this apart from other black teas I've tried. It's smooth and naturally sweet, perfect for afternoon sipping without any sugar.

The natural sweetness really comes through without any sugar, and there's a faint spicy note underneath that I wasn't expecting from a Yunnan. Steeped it about three minutes and it stayed smooth instead of turning bitter.
