I only had a sample of this that I ordered with my last restock of Florence, Paris, and Scottish Morn, so this is already a sipdown. A pleasant one for sure though- at least for people who like strong black teas. This blend is more in line with Scottish Afternoon if I had to pick another Harney tea to compare it to, but I still prefer my beloved Scottish Morn to either. I think it is the Darjeeling- I just tend to gravitate away from it towards Yunnan, Ceylon, etc. If you love Darjeeling though, then this might be perfect with the soft hints of it around the edges. East Frisian is traditionally enjoyed with cream and rock sugar from what I understand, but I only added milk and it was quite tasty. A touch of citrus and strooooong malt to welcome the new day. Yum!

I think I read that Frisian teas are usually drunk with cream and sugar, and I think it is actually cream and not milk. I vaguely remember a reference to them not stirring it in but letting it hover as the “cloud in the tea.”
Yeah, I thought they drank it with rock sugar and cream traditionally, but I only had milk. It still was tasty, but I am kind of obsessed with Scottish Morn and not such a fan of Darjeeling. :)
