I ordered this blindly because it was heavily discounted Davids Tea. I received 250g for under $20.00.

Smell when dry: It smells very much like cinnamon, and overpowers any coconut that is in it. Then you get the smell of dark chocolate. It smells almost burnt, but that might be the chocolate.
Taste when steeped: It has a strange after taste, like I said about the smell of it dry, it tastes almost burnt. I really like it with a little milk and some brown sugar. I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite tea of all time, but I definitely like it when I am looking for something spicy.

I have thought about brewing it for less, but as I have mentioned in previous reviews on any Davids Tea black tea, I do find that it brews somewhat weak and so I have to extend the brew time to get a nice copper colour. Either that or put more in the basket to steep. To me though, I don’t think I should have to put in more to get the same level of steep.

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more

Bio

My passion for tea started at a very young age, thanks to my grandmothers beautiful china tea cup collection. I use to brew Tetley’s or whatever version of Orange Pekoe she had in the cupboard and pick out my favourite tea cup to use. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I really started to develop a passion for it. My town had the Urban Tea Merchant and it was there I was exposed to high tea and the very fancy Mariage Freres brand. When they switched over to The O Dor, my girlfriend and I found salvation in going for a lovely cup of tea and decompress with some tea scones.

It has since become an obsession. I have a tea cupboard, filled with a very large variety of teas. I also use the Breville Tea Maker to make my tea. I favour black teas, with a close second being North African Mint Green Tea. Because I have the luxury of working from home, I get to enjoy a wonderful cup of tea every morning, and the journey resets daily.
