This 2025 Jingmai Ancient Tree Red Tea was real treat! The leafs are long with lots of golden tips that brew into a pleasant malty honey flavor that is quite enjoyable. Another excellent tea from MyTeaConnection, one I'll definitely be reordering!

A beautiful rich tea with wonderful depth of flavour, dry leaf smelled heavily of tobacco which became much more subtle in the wet leaf, the brew was earthy, malty with a subtle hint of tobacco and leather with a touch of red berries on the finish! This tea has left me feeling frustrated as only the 25g was in stock and there is no way that is enough of this delicious tea! 😂
This 2025 Jingmai Ancient Tree Red Tea is a total standout. It’s got that signature punch you want from ancient trees, whether you're bringing out the complexity with Gongfu Cha or keeping it smooth and honeyed as a cold brew. I definitely recommend giving this one a try if you're looking for a tea that packs a punch😎👍
Gorgeous leaves and gorgeous color. Love this tea. It's creamy, has light malt and honey notes that remind me of dulce de leche, but it's not sweet. Doesn't have really any of that molasses or sweet potato character that you usually find in red/black tea. It's not bitter either, but there is this wonderful herbal/medicinal quality that makes this very enjoyable to sit and sip on. Not sweet or bitter or syrupy. The soup isn't exactly thin though either. Really excellent balance and forgiving if you accidentally (or intentionally) push the steep. Excellent price and a very satisfying drink.
The 2025 Jingmai Ancient Tree Red Tea is defined by its exceptional extraction homeostasis, maintaining a consistent, integrated sensory profile from the initial infusion through seven subsequent brews. Unlike more volatile specimens, this Ancient Tree material exhibits a linear extraction curve within a dense, cohesive solute matrix rather than distinct aromatic overtones. The profile is characterized by a subtle, earthy foundation and woody structural markers, complemented by a muted roasted malt quality. The absence of floral volatility or saccharine sweetness indicates a comprehensive oxidation, resulting in a stable, high-viscosity liquor that avoids the common pitfalls of terminal thinning or bitter collapse. This tea provides a grounded, low-entropy experience.
Amazing flavor. Delicate and refined compared to most reds. Subtle sweetness while being a bit earthy. I could drink this one all day.
Very pleased.
The tea is rich, full-bodied, and just tastes very quality! Much more elegant and compelling than the usual tea bags that I drink!
An absolutely beautiful red tea full of malty richness with a honey sweetness at the end this has definitely become a daily drinker for me
