Quality black tea
This tea has a great full bodied taste. Vastly different to your normal black tea. A bit expensive, but definitely worth the price.
Unrivaled excellence
Over a 20-year period, I have sampled some of the best black teas available from India/Darjeeling, Ceylon and China. Without a side to side comparison I can't judge absolutely, but my impression is that Chisen is better than all I've tried. Simply put, it has more beautiful flavors and fewer undesirable flavors. I followed the preparation instructions precisely, pulling out my gram scale to measure the tea, and heating my mug and water to temperature in a microwave, testing with a temperature probe. Kudos to the producers!
