Sister Ai’s Black Beauty (2022)

This is by far one of my favorite teas! I use it when I have friends over who are new to the tea scene. This one truly impresses ! Can’t wait for it to be back in stock!

After finishing the 7 cakes tong sample from the subscription, i ordered the 7 cake full package; then I had time to taste each one with due attention. Although they are all extraordinary teas, Black Beauty stands out; it is different from anything i have tasted before, it is sweet and a little bit sour, fragrant and very aromatic. I find it an excellent tea and it is for sure one of my favourites to enjoy!

If you are looking for uniquely special tea that delivers exactly what it promises look no further than Sister Ai's Black Beauty. This tea is a spectacular triumph that genuinly lives up to every bit of its reputation. From the very first rinse, the aroma is absolutely captivating. The taste profile is incredibly juicy, bursting with natural fruitiness and a clean, vibrant sweetness that coats the mouth. What makes Black Beauty truly magical, is its evolution over multiple steepings. It starts beautifully bright and sweet and then gradually deepens into rich, complex and nutty undertones. A massive shoutout and compliment to Sister Ai for her incredible craftsmanship. Her expertise in sourcing and processing these Yunnan leaves is undeniable. She has managed to capture a perfect balance of clean energy and deep flavor profile. Huge praise also goes to Jesse and the Jesse's Teahouse team for bringing this gem to the global tea community. Jesse's dedication to sourcing directly from authentic makers allows us to experience the hard work of traditional farmers right at home. Whether you brew it grandpa style or dive into a proper Gongfu session this tea performs flawlessly from the first steep to the last. It is smooth, deeply satisfying, and an absolute must-have for any tea lover's collection. Thank you Sister Ai and Jesse for this beautiful tea experience! I will definitely be stocking up on more cakes!
