Steeped the rest of this and started sipping. It was okay. I got a smokey flavor with some fruit behind it and it was nice, but I wanted more. So I added cream, doubting my decision as I was pouring. The cream killed the nuances of the flavors until I acclimated to it a bit. Now I’m getting a creamier version of what I was tasting before, which is what I was hoping for. I’m liking this cup, but at the end of the sample bag I’m still not super taken by this tea. :/
