This is a good basic black tea. Nice malty notes to it. Nothing fancy but it makes a good daily drinker.

This is very good, and nice whole leaves so next time I will slightly lower my amount of tea (it was almost bursting out of the gaiwan). This has a nice cocoa malty flavor with some nice earthy tobacco notes. Later steepings I got a cola flavor then some malty black tea flavor, so that was pretty interesting.

This is a very nice Darjeeling, but you have to be careful on time and temperature, otherwise you have an astringent mess on your hands. I did 190 degrees at 2 minutes. This gets you a nice floral fruity tea with just a hint of malt to remind you that it is a black tea.

This has a really nice profile with no fermentation notes or off flavors. Produces and thick malty choclatey brew. Very good, definitely recommend if you want an inexpensive shou.

This is a pretty solid ripe, at this point there is no fermentation taste. First tasting of it so I went light on the brew times, but I think it would do better going a little longer. No off flavors notes. Gave me earthy woody roasty chocolatey flavors. Can’t beat the price, I might have to pick up a couple cakes.

This is drinking super nice now. I’m getting a lot of tobacco like flavors, some earthiness, and some other good flavors that I can’t put my finger on.
