Okay…so…I will also post this review under the Samovar Listing…
I received this ROCKSTAR Tea from Auggy! Woot Woot!!!!
I will agree with others in saying that this is – by far – a black tea of it’s own! It’s in a completely different category! It’s wonderful BUT…it’s certainly NOT your stereotypical Black Tea!
The leaves are glorious! They are on the biggest leaves I have EVER SEEN…EVER! They are FAB! And SCREAMING for multiple infusions!!!! The very slight sweet smell of the tea is barely there and it’s a light and mellow yet pleasant and sweet and juicy taste. In a way I am thinking about ROCK CANDY from the 80s…you know…on the stick!? But I can also comprehend the Rye-Bread comparison made by a few others. The product description from the company says roasted sweet…when I first read that all I could say is “REALLY?” but the more I drink it the more it makes sense! I suppose as an after taste and after thought I can taste the caramel notes.
WOW.
I just don’t know…there are some things that throw me for a loop – but in a good way!!! Trying to figure out HOW this tea is done so well and why more people haven’t tried it or even heard of it…just might have to be added to that list!
I’m going to infused the EVER-LIVIN’ out of these leaves…so stay tuned for the multiple infusion notes!

Yay! This log makes me cheer. :)
I am going to do the multiple infusion notes under this listing, Auggy, also my rating just might increase!!!!
ADDITIONAL NOTES…this is incredible CLEAN tasting. As it cools I am tasting a bit more roastiness to it…lol…
Okay…FINE…I gave in…I upped the rating…How could I resist!? I mean…this is so unique…so much in a class of it’s own…I can’t compare it to ANYTHING…so…there you have it folks!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I did something similar the first time I had it – I refused to rate it in case it was a fluke but it wasn’t!
I asked above where you bought this, but I see now that you got it from Auggy. Auggy… where did you buy this?
Need this one too :-)
