Reading my previous review of this tea made me sad because apparently I had it just after my kitty died. Today was a much nicer occasion, although not special. It’s a Monday at my desk.

This tea is as lovely and smooth as ever, for being as old as it is. A bit of that not-quite-cinnamon spiciness and honey and bread and it’s just quite lovely all around. I’m glad it’s not available because I’ve spent way too much money on tea already today between finding out a discontinued Verdant blend had some backstock (of which I purchased half of what was left) and also Butiki since they are (sadly, so sad!) going out of business. :(

This is on it’s 3rd steep, which looks just as dark as the first. Started at 1 minute and added 30 seconds to a steep (would have done 15 seconds but that is a Breville limit).
