Hao Ya er en af de fineste kvaliteter af Keemun-te fra den bjergrige Anhui-provins i Kina. Den har et tyndt, trådagtigt, tæt snoet blad med en let røget smag og aroma. Fremragende alene eller med mælk og sukker.
The dry leaf is so tightly twisted and wiry—you can tell it's high-grade just by looking. Brewed up, that slightly smoky note really comes through smooth, not harsh at all, and it holds up beautifully for a second steep. I've been drinking it straight every afternoon since the tin arrived.
That first steep hit me with the smoky aroma I was hoping for, and the leaves unfurl beautifully, wiry and tight as described. It's smooth enough to sip straight all afternoon without any bitterness creeping in.
The smoky note is subtle enough to drink straight, and the tight wiry leaves unfurl nicely after a few steeps. I do wish it had a bit more lingering sweetness on the finish, but it’s a solid everyday tea for the price.
