A very nice blend. I could probably down a pot of this on my own over a tea time. :)
Dry it smells a bit like hay. Earthy and warm. Steeps very light, even at 4 minutes. A bit of oolong in the background but to my tastebuds, the black tea, whatever it is, overshadows it. There is a tiny bit of astringency at the end.

This is the second time I’ve seen a Whispering Pines tea review today; had never heard of it previously. Sounds like they have this blending thing figured out.
I hadn’t heard of them either. They posted a thread a few days ago with a special offer:

Buy 3 samples get 1 free, plus free shipping on samples. Figured that was a good deal to try new teas. :)
This one is on my list to get at some point :)
An FYI, Blackburnian Blend has been re-designed. It’s MUCH better now :)
