Today, we are drinking Keemun Concerto. It's got a smokey aroma to it, both in the leaves and the brewed tea, and as it cools it's got a slight bit of citrus-y flavor, without the sweet or tart. It's also pretty smooth. I looked up the word "keemun" on wikipedia, and it says "fruity" or "pine"…I had Keemun Encore before in my first batch of teas, and loved that one, not so sure about the Concerto.
The Ceylon Sonata is more of a traditional tasting tea, like the kind you would get out of a tea bag. It's just richer somehow…I lack vocabulary for describing all of these tastes and flavors, and don't care much for what vocabulary there is for describing flavors, because it seems pretentious…
The Golden Monkey is a great tea! It wasn't bitter, or have an unusual flavor…it's in my top tier of great teas. I have about 3:Darjeeling #1, Keemun Encore, and Golden Monkey.
So there ya go. :-)
