Crimson Lotus Intergalactic, received in tea trade. Solid malty Yunnan red tea, sort of half way between the fruity and savory styles of Yunnan red teas.

"Bumble Bee" - another #DianHong [Spring '22, CLT], the same as here https://mammut.moe/@gemelen/109970069912775638
Essence of a Yunnan #HongCha category - it gives you persistent taste for multiple infusions to accompany long evening with friends.
It also was a smooth transition from the previous, more nuanced "Chocolate Milk".
[4/n]

"Chocolate Milk" - Golden Snail #DianHong or Yunnanese #HongCha [Spring '22, CLT]. Got as a freebie with my order from that vendor.
More or less of what you can expect from DianHong - sweet, biscuity smell and taste, thus that name. Not so much in creamy notes, I guess "milk" in the name didn't imply that.
I've got only 6g, so I tasted it once and do not remember all notes well already.

"Bumble Bee" - #DianHong or a Yunnanese "golden needle" #HongCha [Spring 22, CLT].
Nice tea with a solid profile of fruity notes as a most prominent ones. Vendor's description mentions lychee and I tend to agree.
It didn't withstand brewings with a long gaps between them, giving the signs of revealing red tea astringency already on a third infusion. This, paired with it's relatively high price, would prevent it from being recommended as a daily drinker.
