[EN] I find this tea rather weak. I have tried piling more into the diffuser but still the main flavour seems to be a kind of mild malty taste.

[EN] Genuinely one of the best and most interesting black teas that I have ever had. Its a black tea with oolong and other qualities - definitely a unique flavor profile and SO GOOD. Its a very complex, layered tea experience and you really need to taste it for yourself because my description could never do it any justice - it's truly one of a kind.
Trust me though, you'll like it!
[EN] Excellent description from Jeff, below: salty to sweet is a good descriptor. Definite profile of prunes, rather than plums. The dried, sweetened, raisiny, quality makes it lean this way. Mouthfeel is satiny and flavour is full-bodied. A great cool-weather tea, to my mind, as the baked prune flavour is really comforting as the season turns.
[EN] The description is really spot on. This looks and tastes very much like a fine oolong. Mouthfeel is full and I think people under state the importance of thick and slick feeling of a fine tea. I love how this tea goes from slightly almost salty to a sweet finish on the lips and gums. Nice Qi as well.
[EN] This tea tastes earthy and slightly creamy. Its one of my new favorites!
[EN] All of Tealyra's description above!
I did a 3 1/2 minute brew using 5 grams of tea to 180ml (6oz) of water at a brew temp of 94 - 95C/201- 203F.
I'm detecting a multiple layered aroma of plum & apple (maybe muscat grape), with a fresh full deliciously smooth mouthfeel & sweet buttery flavor.
A MUST try, & highly recommended!
Cheers!

[EN] To me this just tastes like an average loose leaf 'english' tea. Pronounced bitterness, slightes bit of acridity, astringent and slightly mineral with notes of plum, best to drink with milk. I prefer Japanese and Yunnan teas, not super fond of english breakfast style.
I'd rate it a 2.5 or 3 but I know I'm biased so it gets a 4. If you like 'english' style teas with milk this is for you.
