I’ve really been craving black teas over the last couple days, and I haven’t enjoyed this in awhile. Decided to have a short gongfu session with it. So insanely chocolatey, with a bit of malt and baked bread. In the first steep, the vanilla is the most distinct it’s been in my experience with this tea. Subsequent steeps lose the vanilla, but maintain the chocolate and malt.
It’s been awhile since I had this too. I think I’ll go with it tonight as well. Yum!
I hope you enjoyed your cup! It’s such a delightful tea.
