This is a very robust, balanced and fragrant tea, it ticks all the boxes of a good large leaf black tea. The body is medium, so I like to push the steeping time a bit. That brings out a bit more of the bitterness, which I enjoy, but even lighter brews are delicious. I get reminded of some Assam teas as well as Yunnan teas from the Ye Sheng varietal. The smell is sweet and floral and the aftertaste is significantly protracted.
