I received a free sample of this from Tea At Sea. Thank you for allowing me to try this tea.
This tea arrived at my door in very cute packaging. I received two samples and they were in small sample size packets with the company’s name and a tag attached to the package that described the tea and gave temperature guidelines for steeping.
The leaves were in great shape, little curly black leaves. This tea was a medium bodied tea with hints of fruit. The taste reminded me of some of the Ceylon teas I have had. Before I started drinking loose leaf teas I loved Lipton yellow label. Lipton yellow label was “normal” black tea to me. This tea has a very “normal” flavor, but very smooth. I liked this tea. It would be great iced, it would be good with lemon or ginger added to it, and it is also good straight.
The way I rate tea is based on my personal preference. It is based on if I am driven to drink or buy a given tea again. In this case I will definitely finish this sample and would purchase this tea again if I happened to be buying other teas from Tea at Sea.

Nice review.. I too grew up on Lipton being the “normal” tea at home. You made this one sound familiar and comforting… I need to get mine out soon and try it. :)
I did try the Paris you sent me, but need to sit down and do a tasting note!
I hope you enjoy both teas! This one was really nice. I am glad I got to try it.
