This was my morning starter. I had actually forgotten that I had this. I opened my tea cupboard and this jumped out at me, so I guess it was a sign to brew it. The dry leaf consists of a dark oolong look alike. They are small rounded balls of ebony and crimson. They carried a strong aroma of cacao. I brewed these guys up in my tetsubin. The liquor came out as dark copper. The flavor is amazing. It starts a sweet and warm honey tone and then grows into a malty wood flavor. This brew had undertones of caramel and baked bread. I really, really liked this tea. I love how it looks like an oolong, but it’s a nice black tea instead. The scent is what had me hooked.
