I got a sachet of this tea in a trade with Skysamurai , thanks! It first smelled a little smokey when steeping, but now it smells more caramel like with a touch of smoke in the background. It was a little bitter at first, but that softened with a little sugar and brought out the caramel and vanilla notes. This cup is very nice and well done, but a bit plain for my usual preferences. I could see it as a wonderful base for a busier tea with multiple flavors. It is reminding me a bit of Mariage Freres teas actually. This one could grow on me.
