Drinking this at work today. That means it’s probably over leafed and over steeped – that would be my normal work parameters.
This is an interesting China black. I want to say chocolate, but it’s not – more like caramel. I think it’s a touch smoky, just a little coffee ish, and something resembling old library book. This is a big bold black tea. It does mellow a little as it cool, and then there are some stone fruit notes to it. It would probably be better if steeped properly, but for a work tea, this is making me happy today. I haven’t been drinking much tea lately and am really enjoying the caffeine (oh how I’ve missed you).

Lol Nicole, old library book might not be a “taste”, more of an impression. I’m horrible at the – what does it taste like game. I’m more into how it makes me feel, or what it reminds me of….shrug, old library books….
No, I understand completely. It’s not like I’ve licked horses to compare when writing some of my tasting notes. :)
hope you feel better now <3
old library book. That’s an intriguing taste note.
Thank you boychick, I am getting there. Tea at work today really helped.

I think it’s a smell. Smell and taste are so closely entwined.
Sounds like an interesting tea.
I love all the comments in this feed, LOL.
