I’m finishing up my sample of this tea from a stash sale I got on reddit, along with some toast with clotted cream and raspberry jam.

I have to say that I’m surprised at how strong and full-bodied this tea is. It’s a little earthy and leathery, like a good puerh. It’s also extremely malty. The flavor reminds me of a smoother version of a breakfast blend.

But it’s not as smooth as most Yunnan blacks I’ve been drinking lately. There’s a hint of bitterness on the edge, and the flavor is hefty with almost no chocolate. As it cools, there’s a hint of smoke.

Looking up the price, I’d say this is a good everyday breakfast tea if you’re looking for something with more flavor than Twinings English Breakfast.
