There is lots of fine particulate in this tea that escapes straining
and continues brewing in this cup. Not only does the cup color change but also the taste. I opened a bag a couple of months ago and almost choked from the dust. Swirl in a glass pot and you'll see the residue almost like tiny soap bubbles on the sides. You'll see the bubbles as you empty the cup. You see this phenomena in the occasional British blend but not this apparent. I describe the taste as smoky vanilla and I've heard of only one other strain of tea off the coast of Africa with a natural vanilla taste without additives. I think this is a sine non qua tea from China. I think the taste would fool most coffee and tea drinkers. Jim Marlene Wood wrote: I've noticed this with blacks too. Especially yunnan gold. I'll be distracted half way through a pot, and when I come back an hour or so later, and the dark amber will have changed to almost coffee black. Marlene |
