2.5 tsp for a 500mL pot, water at 90C, steeped 4 min 30 seconds, drunk bare.
WOW.
Dark copper liquor, almost red, definitely India tea in the base as well as China, maybe some Ceylon heft and smoothness? This blend’s got bergamot oil, orange oil, and, unusually, mandarin oil, which really lifts this blend into something special. The citrus notes dance; the tea base soothes and fortifies.
This is my favourite yet from Kusmi … and it was only available in refill bags instead of a tin, so I’m worried it might be on the chopping block. I’d happily serve this at a holiday gathering, and I’d also happily drink it every day. And I’d most certainly offer it to an EG lover who’s just come in from the cold.
(Please, Kusmi, don’t lose this one.)

I love this, but I thought it was discontinued. If it isn’t, I have a last minute addition to my Christmas list!
Yay! I can get it through Kusmi Tea Canada and ten mail it to you
if you run into any trouble.
Found it! I guess it was out of stock for a very long time when we last looked for it. It looks like you have to order a 100 gram bag, but that doesn’t scare me. Ha ha!
Yay!
I just looked for this one, but I guess they’ve already sold out again!
