Review:<\/p>\n

First let me just say I was very excited to try the maestro <\/a>collection, and my first tea, Yunnan Golden Curls, didn’t disappoint.\u00a0 It is a black tea although the leaves were very light in color.\u00a0 The “hay” smell that the raw tea gives off is totally different from the scents of the brewed tea.\u00a0 Once brewed it has a wonderful nutty\/smoky smell.\u00a0 The taste was very good, a mellow black without almost no bitterness.\u00a0 It has a smoothness that a lot of black teas are missing.\u00a0 One note: I did prefer it with the shorter brew time of 3-4 minutes (The label says 3-5);\u00a0when I let it go the full 5 minutes it did pick up a bit of a bitter over-brewed taste.\u00a0 Overall, it was an interesting black and a good all around tea.\u00a0 Can’t wait to try some more!<\/p>\n

My Rating:
\n3.5 \/ 5<\/p>\n
