Tea of the morning…..
I am so glad this one finally arrived. Shipping times were slow due to the holidays, I imagine. I saw it was routed through Chicago, too, and they have had some pretty frigid weather. I usually spring for the shipping so it will get here faster, but I am thinking that was not such a good idea in this case.
Well, the tea is worth the wait. I get a floral note, there is a roastiness (ashmanra and JacquelineM- this kind of reminds me of Emperor’s Red from Premium Steap, but more floral), and a lingering sweetness. Really, it is like tea candy. I know that is a weird description, but the cocoa notes come across like a rose chocolate. I am not sorry at all that I just jumped in ordering 100g of this. It will be savored.
Usual mug method so I can try a resteep and not be tealogged.
Eee Teavivre!
Did you order this one?
Yep, a sample size. Pretty much all their blacks tea, with the exception of anything smoky, I ordered haha.
haha, that’s good! I got one of the sampler packs that came with two samples of this. I’ll have to order a full pouch next time. : )
Oh excellent. I love hearing that about teas that are en route. Although my wallet doesn’t enjoy it quite so much.
nice to see a few more reviews on this one :)
They’ve got a number of really, really nice black teas. I just got a pouch of Fengqing Dragon Pearl Black Tea myself that’s waiting for me in mail jail. I’ll be picking it up in about an hr and I can’t wait!! (Got one of the sample packs too and I think one of this as well, it sounds excellent.)
And it sounds like there will be even more reviews coming!! ; )
Those samplers are great, and so is the dragon pearl – I’m sure you’ll enjoy them Kirlika!
