Nice everyday morning tea at a good price. Reminds me of Copper Knot Hong Cha, previously carried by Teavana, back when it was an Atlanta start up boutique. Although I haven’t shopped there in years (since they discontnued my 3 favorite teas, (before they sold to Starbucks), I have missed their CKHC and this tea is a very nice replacement. Smooth, fragrant, malty & chocolatey. Holds up well wth milk & sugar. Also good s straight up.

My 38 year commitment with tea began as a morning relationship with simple malty blacks with notes of honey, cacao & spice. I’m still faithful to this ritual, however my tastes have evolved from a bag of leaves into loose leaf varietals with depth and power. After an hour or more, as my morning wake-up ritual with one of my black teas draws to a close, I become rather fickle.

I adore oolong or sheng pu-erh in the afternoon, although I regularly have short flings with white tea or matcha. Green leaf is my least favorite, although I do enjoy it from time to time. I have also recently begun to enjoy shou, after an abysmal first experience.
