Additional notes: I found that this tea had gentle and lovely sweetness in the aftertaste. Also, I would like to praise the manufacturer for greatly balancing flavours. It was not too bitter, but gently blended with a watery flavour.

For this case, I would like to name this tea as Seasonal Black Tea, recommended to drink during hot summer days.

These kinds of definitions use beer brewers when they make between 0.1% 3% alcoholic beers, which meant to be for peasants in the 19th century and even earlier. They drank it during hot summer days while having a break.

Of course, it depends on individual persons how bitter they want to see the flavour, but in my opinion, that is how the black tea should taste.

Interestingly, the middle of my tongue went gently numb for a long time. It might be annoying.

This tea was tried at Wanda Moments Hotel in Nanning, China.

Additional notes: I loved the aroma of this tea. For some reason, I think it smells more pleasant than green tea in England. I assume that it would be a great remedy to help me fall asleep.

The flavour of the tea was gentle and well balanced, it was not too bitter or too tasteless. The flavour of iron was tender too, not too obvious as it used to be with other green teas.
