Tea with the Black Dragon

This tea is from the West China Tea Company tea subscription box  that I got this month. I try to get taste as many teas from my subscription boxes as possible. Sometimes, I can only do it on the weekends! But this one intrigued me, so I put it high on my list.  ...

Red Blossom Tea (RBT)  in San Francisco started offering up tea samples (or they did, and I never noticed until now). I've been to RBT previous times and I've always enjoyed their tea. However, they are a little bit on the expensive side, so I tend to only buy what I know and like. With their samples, it was a little bit more affordable to try their teas.  I bought a few based on their descriptions.  For this session, I tried their Heritage Beidou  from their Red Label collection. Each sample is ~3 grams.
