I have reached a sipdown of this lovely black tea on this fine Friday night. I think I steeped this for about 3 minutes tonight and it is packing a dark chocolate punch! Rich and decadent, and I definitely am getting a raisin flavor tonight! Maybe because I’ve been drinking Cocoa Goji Zhu Rong and it has strong raisin notes and the same base, so I might be associating this to the blend a bit. It is also malty and soft, smoothing out more as it cools. Mmm this is a tasty tea, and I would like to order a bit more of this one day. I had a bit of trouble with getting this base to taste as good as it does now last year, particularly in blends. However I think with the softer water here the flavor has improved immensely, and I might try blends with this in it again as well. Tasty tea, and sad to see it go! See previous notes on this tea :)
