A fine daily drinker. It offers a nice balance – not too sweet, not too nutty. It has everything you want in a black tea – nut, malty sweet, sweet potato, with hints of fruit (blackberry) and green herb (sassafras?)
Overall, the whole experience is fairly subdued. It doesn’t really have any one thing that jumps out. Its personality is more about balance, smoothness, and delivering on the promise of a black tea – no surprises, but certainly no disappointments either.
