My first sip of this and not quite sure what to make of it.
I certainly love it better than the first Nepal black tea I ever had (from david´s tea, a Angrboda sample). This is just smoother, more elegant. But either Nepalese black tea is so different from the teas I usually have I am a bit baffled by them and can´t really judge yet. But will drink my cup with pleasure! And finish that David´s Tea sample (but for once, the one I had before is not the winner. This Shangri La is just better even to newbies like me).
I get the woody and hazelnut notes from the official description – as well as something raisin-esque. Very smooth with just a hint of astringency which IMO is part of the charm.

this sounds really great, I’m looking forward to see you rating next time
It is interesting and it´s all packed and ready to send, except not sure I will do it this week – for once November first is not a holiday but there is a transport strike instead and not sure I will be able to send it easily.
And madame, considering not going to rate it! The number is not too important – I am pretty honest about saying I do not like something and what I do not like, the rating I try to balance perceived liking and quality and yes value for money, and besides being harder to do it for kinds of teas I do not know well, I think it might be confusing!
don’t worry there is no hurry – I am very sick, I have a pneumonia and am unable to work or do a lot of things neither.
I will prepare you teas probably next week if I’m not dead (lol – I am not expecting to die !)
Oh, no, pneumonia, poor you, do take care!
And on my account, seriously am in no need of new teas, and on a ruthless mood to finish old teas and samples. Do not worry about sending me teas!
I’ll do, sure I want to read your reviews :)
ah, that I promise, but no hurry, really!
