My favourite black tea so far. In this moment, mon-fri I drink yunnan gold, sat-sun I drink this tea, because it requires a hotter water, so I spend more time to prepare and let it cool before drink it.
I really liked how balanced is this tea and how it evolves. In particular, I enjoyed the hybrid black tea and ripe pu erh taste and the subtle spicy taste. Super recommended: I'll definitely buy the full cake.
mmm ... i love it... so just bought 2 x 200 gr ... wonder how it taste as cold brew
We recently tested this tea cold brewing. Please check out our blog and find the post in which we've shared our experience cold brewing our Amber Sunrise.
Very tasty
2024 Amber Sunrise Sun-Dried Black Tea in 7g mini cake format offers a smooth and well-rounded black tea experience. The aroma carries warm honeyed and fruity notes with a hint of dried fruits. The liquor is clear, rich, and amber-colored. The taste is clean and lightly sweet, without sharp astringency, followed by a comforting, warming aftertaste. The convenient mini cake format makes it suitable both for tea sessions and everyday brewing.
Incredible sun-dried tea, with strong initial fruity notes of figs and raisins, a touch of wood, leading to a floral and honeyed aftertaste. Spices and a very subtle toasty note emerge. A smooth and sweet flavor. A great tea to enjoy in the morning or even in the afternoon; it will remind you of a beautiful sunny spring day, almost the beginning of summer. Highly recommended. The packaging design is also a very nice touch. Negative point: Why didn't I buy a whole cake? (My own answer: because I couldn't fit any more tea in my pantry).

If you have doubts about purchasing these minicakes, i'm telling you this is one of the best pu'erh i've ever tried.
We’re glad you’re enjoying it! This tea is indeed a lovely bridge between pu erh and black teas because it’s processed like pu erh but uses black tea leaves. That’s what makes it special, with a delightful taste and aroma.
I wasn't sure about this tea at first but the taste is very interesting. The fact that it's a pressed coin makes my brain automatically think "pu erh" even though I know it's a black (red) tea so the actual taste is a surprise. Very mild and subtle but still defined. I use a whole mini coin for a small to medium gaiwan because when I tried it for the first time with just half a coin the flavor felt a bit weak for my taste. I'd like to experiment a bit more with this one and just ordered a whole big cake of it. And I have to mention the artwork on the wrapping paper which is just beautiful.
Goede thee mooi verpakt
The tea is smooth and easy to drink. It has a medium thick body with a sweet and floral taste. I will leave it to age in its beautiful wrapper to see the change.
A bit bland to be fair and a regular Lapsang souchong would be intriguing, but Amber Sunrise could appeal to the less adventurous or days of such.
Hi Kristian, thank you so much for sharing your honest thoughts! We truly value your feedback!
Sun-dried, aged black teas and normal black teas like Lapsang Souchong, Jin Jun Mei, Lichuan etc are intrinsically different.
With normal Chinese black teas, the aroma is intense and very direct, and the taste is more accessible. I'm not sure if you're comparing to our Lapsang Souchong, which is very intense in aroma and sweet. If that's the kind of tea you prefer, then indeed Amber Sunrise might not be right for you.
With a sun-dried black tea, first of all the texture thicker, and resembling somewhat like a ripe pu erh. The aging of the tea results in a more nuanced sweetness, but taste wise, if steeped right, there's a lot of complexity to discover, such as fruity, woody, herbal, and spice notes. So, we actually think this would be an adventurous tea for regular black tea drinkers.
By the way, the optimal drinking age is around 3-4 years for sun-dried black tea, so you will see more flavours develop. If you still have some left, we’d encourage you to let it age for a year and revisit. It might surprise you! One more thing, try to cold brew it, we love this tea cold brewed too.
No matter the result, we highly appreciate your review!
Lovely Tea, and wrapped in beautiful paper.
Tra tutti i thè neri essiccati al sole che ho sorseggiato questo è decisamente il migliore.
Io sono amante dei pu erh maturi e speziati e questo thè lo inserisco tra loro.
Ha corpo, gusto e aroma eccezionalmente complessi che ti catturano... è un thè da inserire tra i big
nice sun dried black tea cake. very mild, no bitterness at all. fruity, aromatic, balanced. not as strong as regular black teas
Rich and flavourefull tea, with intense colour.
One of the best black teas I’ve ever tasted! No bitterness, thick, sweet and aromatic! Delicious!
Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.
When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.
Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
