This is not at all what I was expecting when I heard ‘blend of Yunnan teas’, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like it! This is very woody, burnt woody. Like you took barely smoldering remains of a cedar wood campfire and added them to your tea. Not necessarily smoky like Lapsang, though. It tastes quite like Tao of Tea’s Vietnamese Wild Black or Wild Black from Titan Commodity (on Aliexpress). It’s delightfully strong even though I brewed it a full minute less than recommended. Deep but smooth. I think this is going to be a rainy day tea for me.
And honestly, even if I didn’t love it, I probably wouldn’t regret the purchase due to how well-designed the tin is. Highly recommend if you enjoy strong teas with heavy wood notes.

But is the octopus tenetcles in there… It would be the only thing to convince me to buy it over finding a 5g swap
Hm. Campfire. Not often a winning note for me. But we shall see… :)
Proust – I did get a cute rocket pencil topper in matching pink… but I didn’t see anything in the tin.
Nicole – I hope you like it! It is definitely an interesting flavor.
This tea sounds great. Next month probably. I spent too much on tea in June/July ;P
Uh oh.
I can’t wait for mine & Nicole’s to show up! This sounds fantastic!
I can’t wait to try this one!
Let me know if you want a sample, it’s delightful.
Who says no to samples…?
I already went in on half a tin but thank you cookies!! :)
