Very nice. This is great breakfast-style black tea. Plenty strong with some bitterness, but not an offensive bitterness like I find in many Assam black teas. A tolerable bite to it which you may find welcome in a breakfast tea. The flavor is nice and complex, with caramel sweetness, a touch of puerh-like earthiness, hints of dried fruit, oak, some sweet potato, and that nice “leathery” texture you get with some black teas. Brews up cleanly with a satisfying darker reddish-brown color and is a great value for a nice tea.

I love tea. Mainly Chinese teas, such as Keemuns, Shui Xian oolongs when I can find them, Yunnan golden buds, and delicate spring greens. With so many options, though, I keep trying new teas.
