Thank you to Marzipan for supplying me with this wonderful brew!

I bought under the premises of amazement and experience. I came into the “interweb tea loop” a little late to fully experience this companies products. I heard ravings from near and far about this company, and once I decided to check them out, they had already been closed. I was distraught over the news and to the thought of me not being able to experience their products. Luckily, I had a tea friend come to my rescue! I find it incredibly amazing that even after a company closes and shuts down their tea is still circulated around and raved about. I am a Darjeeling lover and saw this and knew that I needed to swoop.

Anyways, onward to the review of this merchandise miracle. I opened this small black bag to peek inside at my discovery. The small leaves are a variety of browns and ambers with little green shards. The scent of these dried leaves is something amazing. I always love Darjeeling tea most for their aroma. I am hit with the light atmosphere of a vineyard. I can hint at white grapes, ivy, and stone fruit. I dropped these valley scented leaves into my Tetsubin and began my steeping. The vineyard scent carried outwards and developed into a more grassy tone. The aroma inside my tea room was of late summer when everything had begun drying and becoming hot. I poured the golden liquor into my glassware. The initial sip is one that is sweet and succulent. The light honey notes blend with a “farmlike” sensation. It has a strong undertone of dried Ivy. I have enjoyed this tea and will be using it as my everyday black. I’m happy to have experienced it, i’m glad that I can do my part to keep the company living on.
