I have to say that this tea is excellent for its price. I’ve been liking Spring/Autumn blends lately, this one particularly seems to capture some of the best of both, with the strength and energy of a Spring tea and the mellow mouth-filling sweetness of an Autumn. I’d say that it has notes of tobacco, grains, and dry fruit. Also it seems to be aging well, with its lower wood/smoke flavors becoming more pronounced each time I drink it. With plenty of complexity and staying power, and at $41 for a fat 400g cake, there’s not really anything to complain about here…

edit: This tea continues to develop smokier, earthier, and more textured nuances. It almost reminds me of a glass of Laphroaig Scotch- smokey, peaty, and sweet. Scott seems to have selected this material for aging very wisely…
