I’m very excited to try this one!
The blend is made of dark, twisty leaves with some lighter, almost silver ones. The aroma of the dry blend is intoxicating already—it has that clean, complex “black tea fragrance” that is hard to describe. The brewed tea has that same enticing aroma. The taste is malty but complex; unlike some black teas of this style it’s not heavy or earthy, and lighter, crisp notes just this side of sweet develop with each sip and linger. The mouthfeel is absolutely smooth in spite of the strength of the tea. Highly recommended!
