Just finished sipping on some random red tea sampler from Fullchea. Very unexpected results, and one of the most surprisingly decent I've had in a sampler portion thus far. No idea what it is, but it appears to be a $0.21 sachet with the number code '10-203' and "天然纯正" on the rear (which seems rather vague). I've avoided reds/blacks (same thing, right?) due to concern of digestive issues, but this may make me reconsider my disposition towards them.

Dry leaf is surprisingly geranimum-like in aroma. Brewed leaf smells like campfire-roasted dark wheat crackers.

Medium thickness, low astringency and bitterness. Flavor is a direct floral sweetness, so much so that it tastes almost like someone placed half a sachet of sugar in it. It also possesses a light, smooth 'milkiness' quality in both taste and texture. Longer brews settle it ever so slightly towards a modest vegetal note, but still don't increase bitterness. I'm particularly impressed that it isn't bitter or dull, considering it has such small leaves. The sweetness and consistency does moderate after some infusions, but the infusion remains pleasant and tasteful regardless. Very unexpected results.
