It's been a long while since I've tasted such a vague tea that I liked, but couldn't really describe in any meaningful way. My notes on the 2022 Jingmai Purple Beauty Black Tea of Simao:
____
4g/195F/6s

Dry leaf has notes of something sweet and toasted (grainy?) and a subtle woodsiness. Wet leaf smells of sweet grain, as well as subtle, vague notes of stewed berries and something floral.

Medium thickness, low bitterness, low astringency. Sweet flavor that's vaguely grainy/woodsy, but as with the aroma, it's a bit ambiguous. The only thing I find interesting is how the listing mentions bitterness, but I don't really taste much of that at all. Tried to push it, but nothing really changed. Overall pleasant, but the notes are indistinct, and I can't really comment in much detail about it.
