the scent of Dian Hong

At Kkik Da Geo, last week, I asked about their red tea selection and realized that they actually have a huge variety in stock but just don't push them as much as they do their aged sheng puer and classic oolongs.

Inspecting their Dian Hong, I could see no discernible difference in quality to what I had, and the aroma was equally impressive. It was even packaged in the same gold foil, which made me think it could have been from the same source.

I mentioned to Prof Ahn that I think it has a nice citrus scent. He replied with a friendly smile, "It smells like red tea."
