Steepster Traveling Teabox Tea
It’s a nice clean bold black. I don’t quite understand what makes it so special? I mean it is a very delicious tea, and I am enjoying drinking it, but with all those abbreviations I expected something WOW.
Post-Steep Additives: lactose-free fat-free milk
No more astringency, just a nice creamy smooth bold black.
