After having a few other teas, this one ranks high. 20 seconds, Gong Fu, and this is delicious. Like chocolate covered plums…if that makes sense. Either way, it is frickin’ good.

What-cha is a great company period. Alistair has an amazing selection and I’ve gotten something out of every tea offered. I’ve been eye balling the Discover Darjeeling sampler pack…maybe next Christmas.
Again, I have LiquidProust to thank for my introduction to it.
