Excellent tea
"Superb flavor, it's one of my favorites now. I got it as part of a sampler, and couldn't be happier to have stumbled upon it. Brewing it western style - it's very forgiving in regards to quantity or steep time."

Beautiful Old Arbor tea
"Amazing black tea, wide range of brew options (gong fu or grandpa), difficult to over-brew this one, does well at 200f for 3-4 mins in pitcher at 5-7g per 100-150ml, if you like weaker tea, dial the dose down to 5g at 150ml, if strong tea is your jam, go 7g at 100ml and enjoy the aroma, taste, and smooth yet deep cha qi. 212f will bring out the astringency, 205f has been the highest i'll go for brewing gong fu or grandpa. Many re-brews in this one, especially if gong fu'd with short steeps (200f at 10s rinse, then 1st brew at 200f at 10s, 15s, 20s, 30s, 45s, 1 min, 1:30min, etc. ) I also blend this 50/50 with another excellent YS black tea (Yunnan black gold Bi Luo Chun) and you get fa loral and chocolate bomb of a tea combo. Pricey but worth every cent, grateful that the folks at YS in Yunnan and at YunnanUSA make excellent teas like this available. If you're on the fence on this one, move forward and get some of this."

Amazing Old Arbor "Mu Shu Hong"
"Absolutely amazed with this tea! Tasting notes: Very complex and satisfying taste, I feel strong notes of deep wet pine forest combined with dark fruit sweetness Body sensation: calming, yet very good during working hours as gives you energy and power. Has a very strong cha qi. 5g in 100 ml 95 C° 25s->+5s Good for 17-20 infusions"

YS Delecious Black Teas
"Love Yunnan Sourcing. Not every tea is a winner, but many are! The Mu Shu Hong is a nice one for black tea drinkers that like a little more of the floral brightness over the maltier sweetness of a Jin Jun Mei or Bai Lin Gong... but all are really good choices from YS"
