This tea seems to be hitting its full potential now. It is far from my favourite, but works well for a fuss-free leather-like black tea.

It has a sweet, leathery scent with fleeting floral, butter, nutty and earthy aromas. Taste is also mostly sweet and leathery. The charcoal bitterness is quite nice, but otherwise there is not much more to it beyond some woody notes.

Flavors: Bitter, Butter, Char, Cranberry, Drying, Floral, Leather, Nuts, Oak, Sweet, Wet Earth, Wood

200 °F / 93 °C 1 min, 0 sec 5 g 6 OZ / 180 ML

Dang, I forgot I had this and still haven’t tried it. Wish my memory had been jogged before I placed a black tea order. How’s the caffeine in this one?

Average caffeine levels I’d say, just about noticeable, but not rushy.

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
