The aroma of this tea in the tin is wonderful – complex, chocolatey, with distinct vanilla notes (from the white tea?). However, I guess I am getting the ‘scorching’ problem described below – brewing this as a black tea, even when being very careful with steep time, leads to a burnt cuppa that tastes exactly like a Starbucks americano (and not in a good way). I’ll try brewing against lower temps, but for now, colour me disappointed.
