Yunnan Golden Snail Loose Leaf Chinese Black Tea

The Golden Snail tea, besides offering the novel curled snail leaf shape which is honestly very enjoyable to experience, offers a premium tea-drinking experience, as expected from this ceremonial-grade tea. The tea brews to a nice golden color, and has a strong, malty aroma. The tea is very smooth, with complex flavors that evolve over the course of each sip. The closest thing I could describe it to is spiced, almost reminiscent of the spices in apple cider. The tea has a satisfying, slightly sweet aftertaste. Overall, I've had a great experience with this tea and would highly recommend trying it.
