Excellent at first order, mediocre at second reorder
The first time I ordered this chinese red (black) tea, I was blow away first by the large full leaves.Once, I finished the bag after 2 months I reorderd it and received a dusty bag of broken leaves. Might have gotten the bottom of the batch, I don't know but sadly it makes a big different not just on the visual but the taste as well.Other than this, the taste is true to the variety, a stringent but yet moderately fruity morning tea with a strong dose of caffeine.Given the price value, I would probably buy it again and hope for another batch of large leaves.

4.0 out of 5 stars real tea without the dust
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022
Most of the package is in Chinese and the contents look like what it's supposed to be. Long dried golden tipped lovely tea. Makes a beautiful amber fragrant cup of tea on a 3 minute steep. I steep in an open container and don't recommend trying to squeeze these leaves into bags or even baskets. There are no crumbs here - just leaves.
Update -
I felt that the tea was not as "golden" as the Yunnan Gold from my usual source. It's not. The photo shows this tea on the left and my usual Yunnan Gold on the right. The tea on the right is much smoother in taste and brighter in color.

All that being said. The tea in this item is still very good. I just wanted to address the question of "how golden" and show the differences.

This tea tastes great! My fav online tea order, so far.

Only minus point: the label has a sell-by-date, but not a production date, so you cannot determine freshness.

Smooth and gentle taste. No bitterness. Would buy again. Recommended!
