Aye Captain! This smells NOM! The leaf is pretty – little tan tips cresting throughout the dark brown sea of leaf. It’s got a dark, rich scent. Not quite cocoa, but teetering on that edge of decadence.
Once brewed up, it’s a beautiful chestnut color. It’s got an aroma that to me is the essence of tea – that brisk tang of quintessential tea.
Flavor-wise? The captain’s got a softer side! It’s a smooth, mellow initial sip followed by a drying tannic zing. He’s not a wuss, this definitely is a wake-me-up morning tea – I just expected more of a kick in the pants from the seafaring swashbuckler.
Overall assessment? Good tea. Yum.

I’m sure you knew this question was coming – how does the Captain compare to Thomas Sampson? :) :) :)
I’ll do a side by side later and/or tomorrow morning. I’m on to my royal garland oolong at the moment.
