Name: Bailin Gongfu <\/a><\/p>\n

Type:\u00a0 Black<\/p>\n

Region:\u00a0 Fuding, Fujian, China<\/p>\n

Bought At:\u00a0 Teavivre.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Price:\u00a0 $8.90 for 3.5oz<\/p>\n

First Impressions:\u00a0 Awesome little one-use bag!<\/p>\n

Review:<\/p>\n

This is the first tea I have reviewed from Teavivre, and I was impressed. This black tea has a deep richness and gentle sweetness that I immediately loved. It’s a very dark black tea with a roasted nutty finish and if brewed correctly is one of the best “plain” black teas I have had. The smell when brewed is strong and delicious. Be careful to brew it as directed, below boiling.\u00a0 If brewed incorrectly (too hot) it will pick up a little bitterness. Nothing horrible, but it’s a shame to waste it. Another thing I loved is that the tea came in little individual baggies.\u00a0 I don’t know if this is just because it was a sample, but it was a fun little surprise that made me feel like I was in China, if just for a little bit.<\/p>\n

My Rating:
\n4\u00a0 \/ 5<\/p>\n
