This tea really surprised me. I was expecting a very strong tea as the leaf was very broken and small. The tea does have a kick but is much milder than expected. My tea sense is getting better as I can detect assam, ceylon, and kenyan tea in this blend. (Much more Kenyan than the others). The tea is lighter in color than an assam would be and is not bitter at all. There is a little astringency but not enough to bother anyone. I really enjoyed drinking this tea. The tea was very inexpensive as I found it at T.J.Maxx for $5 for 125 grams.

Just a heads up for anyone with a T.J.Maxx near them. They had many different flavors of Talbot Tea for 4.99 each.
“My tea sense is getting better as I can detect assam, ceylon, and kenyan tea in this blend. (Much more Kenyan than the others)” I think your Tea Sense has arrived & is here to stay!!! Good for you that you can pull all that out of a brew (I still can’t and struggle to find descriptive words never mind actual sourcing!).
