A mix of black and a small amount of sheng crassicolumna. Crassicolumna is caffeine free cousin of the camellia sinensis plant. I recommend brewing this gong fu style so you can peel off the layers of red wine, peach and bread.

A note from May 2024: The Blue Sky on Mars material was harvested and pressed in 2023. I haven't carried a black and sheng crassicolumna blend before so I'm not sure how it will age. Most of the material was processed as a sun dried black tea which typically gets thicker and sweeter as they age until about 4-6 years in. The Blue Sky on Mars cakes seem to be more stable so far.

Unique and delicious

It's a pretty interesting blend, very good!
Crassicolumna teas have a unique taste that's a bit different from normal tea. The ratio of black to sheng tea in this cake is excellent and really helps highlight the strengths of both.
In my experience, crassicolumna shengs tend to be quite vegetal, but the smaller ratio of it paired with the black tea is fantastic. It helps highlight the floral notes and sweetness of the black tea without overpowering it.
This is a great cake and I really enjoyed it (maybe even more than the unblended crassicolumnas I've had). Would recommend!

I didn't believe this is actually zero caffeine, but it is substantially reduced. Pretty easy to brew and tastes like a very high quality black tea mixed with an aged white. Great overall but if you're looking for a sheng experience this won't be it.
This is a cake I will purchase again
