I really enjoyed this – compared to many of the others I tried, it seemed very balanced in flavor. It had some heartiness, fruitiness, sweetness, and breadiness. I have learned to steep my black teas below boiling to ensure minimum astringency without affecting the flavor too much. This one is a keeper.

I got a sampler of this last year and loved it. I went to order more and found out they don’t have it this year. In fact the 4 or 5 teas I picked from my Assam and Darjeeling sampler pack as being the best and reorder, are no longer carried by Golden Tip Teas. Very disappointed in their lack of consistency. Not sure why they can’t keep a good tea going.

Now a certified teacher, beginning my first year in third grade this fall. I have been involved in the tea world about 5 years now. In that time, I have learned so much, and am hoping to learn even more by joining the steepster community.

In my non-tea times, I am usually watching netflix while writing lesson plans, cuddling my two kitties, or trying to find new things to do in a town that is sometimes a bit limited!
