Delphi Sky Hotel

Smell 3/5: This tea isn’t winning any aroma awards. When you first smell the aroma of this tea, you might catch a whiff that’s a bit on the bitter and unpleasant side, definitely not the sweet or floral scent you’d expect. 

Flavour 5/5: It hits you first with this subtle earthy vibe that feels grounding and natural, nothing overpowering—just smooth and comforting. As you take it in, there’s this delicate touch of bitterness, but it’s super tender, almost like a whisper rather than a shout. And just when you think it’s done, a mild bitterness lingers, mellow and lasting, making each sip feel like a little moment to pause and enjoy. It’s the kind of tea that’s easy to drink anytime, calming yet interesting enough to keep you coming back for more.

Final Thpoghts: I wasn’t expecting much at first, but this tea totally caught me off guard in the best way. The flavour hits you with this lovely floral note that sticks around just long enough to keep things interesting. Unlike other black teas I’ve tried, which can sometimes be a bit harsh or overwhelming, this one has a smooth, gentle bitterness that lingers without being bitter in a bad way. It honestly reminded me of those high-quality organic teas you pay a premium for, but without any of the fuss. The soft bitterness is what really won me over—it’s like the perfect balance that makes every sip enjoyable. Honestly, this black tea feels like a little masterpiece in a cup. 

I had the chance to try this tea during a quick stop at a hotel in Nanning, China, and it left quite an impression. The flavour was smooth and comforting, making it a nice little escape in a cup. One thing I did notice was the sachet material – if it came in foil packaging, it would instantly get a top score from me because that stuff really helps lock in freshness and aroma.

What’s also cool is the story behind the tea’s origin. The manufacturer is located at 18 Tongzhou Road, Hangji Town, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. I actually looked it up on an online search engine maps, and the area looks pretty incredible—definitely a spot to check out if you ever find yourself wandering around China.

 So, this tea isn’t just about the taste, but also a little glimpse into a fascinating place.

Final Thoughts: I loved its smooth, gentle green tea base that’s perfectly balanced with a light floral hint — nothing overpowering, just a lovely, calming vibe in every sip.You can tell the makers really know their craft because the flavour feels thoughtfully blended and super satisfying without being complicated. 

I had the chance to sip this tea during a quick stop at a hotel in Nanning, China, and it left a pretty good impression on me. The flavour was smooth and comforting, perfect for unwinding after a day of travel.

One little thing I noticed was the sachet material—if it were made from foil instead of whatever it currently uses, it would definitely bump this tea up to my top favourites. Foil packaging just keeps everything fresher for longer, you know?

Another cool tidbit is where this tea comes from. The manufacturer is based at 18 Tongzhou Road, Hangji town, Yangzhou city, Jiangsu province. I looked it up on a online search engine maps, and it seems like a really charming spot to visit if you’re ever in China. It’s always fun to think about the origin of your cup of tea and imagine the place where it all began. Overall, a solid brew with just a tiny packaging tweak away from perfection.
