China DiDiDaoDao Hong Cha

DiDiDaoDao Hong Cha “100% Most Authentic Black Tea” is procured from the same cultivar as Lapsang Souchong, this is definitely not the smoky tea those familiar with traditional Lapsang Souchong would expect. The plucking is from supple young growth, as you may be able to tell from the thin wiry leaves. The leaves are then processed in the classic Chinese fashion of rolling, oxidizing, and finalized by drying. The end result is a chocolate bouquet and flavor, with soft maltiness and a pleasant sweetness with little to no astringency.
