This was another tea purchased on black Friday and I am not disappointed in this one. The dry smell is sweet and spicy; it reminds me of the holidays! It brewed wonderfully, though I felt this needed a touch of sweetener. I can taste the plum along with the spices, while the black tea base is more mellow. I cannot imagine drinking this one everyday, but I am happy to have it around this time of the year! Now to try to force myself to start my paper and discussion boards that are due tomorrow. :-/
