Woooooow this is probably my favorite black tea out of what I’ve had before. I feel like I’ve had some good ones before, but they’ve tended to be similarly malty with some variation of nuts or cooked fruit. This is a lovely chocolate, not very sweet but like a pleasant dark chocolate—full and toasty. As the infusions progress, it gets sweeter and less bitter but never overwhelmingly sweet. It also has a lovely energy, very invigorating but not super panicky which is crucial. Highly, highly recommended.
It’s raining and cold outside, this is a great tea for afternoons like this. Honestly, this is close enough to hot cocoa where I would never need hot cocoa. I also have the green tea variety of this and I’m very excited to try that and see if there’s any similarities!

Ugh, I miss black teas like this so much. I need to place an order at Teavivre or something soon…
I’m really happy I randomly decided to order it, definitely will miss it when it’s gone! Going to have to get some more… Next year when my wallet recovers from the obnoxious amount of tea I’ve ordered recently :D
I get a similar invigorating, non-anxiety-inducing energy from both YS’s Classic and Imperial Laoshan Green. It’s so great to find a tea with a taste you love and an energy that matches.
