So after a few months of drinking this tea daily, I’m finally giving it a review.

This is the tea that helped me kick my coffee addiction. I’ve tried other black teas from many other sources, but this is the one I keep going back to.

I love this tea. The first steeping is complex but not overbearing. There’s a malty sweetness with hints of oatmeal, honey, and molasses. Like a previous reviewer stated, there’s no brassyness. It’s very smooth.

I steep this twice in the morning before doing anything. I sit and enjoy this tea. I then spend the rest if the day drinking, Or thinking about drink Mandala’s Milk Oolong!

Mind blown! This tea is very fragrant, with notes of lilac and honeysuckle. One of the best teas I’ve tasted so far in my newly acquired taste for tea. Order some now!

I don’t much care for flavored teas, but this is very good as an iced tea. Especially when sweetened with honey.

At first I wasn’t too impressed with this tea, especially when I compared it to Silk Road Teas delicious Darjeeling. I’m fairly new to tea.

But after having it a few more times, I’ve fallen in love with it. It’s very complex and musical, with hints of grapefruit and smoke. It’s like Jazz on the tip of your tongue. It’s also very good iced with some raw honey and lemon.
