When I first opened the tin, my unsuspecting nostrils were attacked by a strong aroma of — hookah tobacco? I couldn’t (and still can’t) stop making the correlation. I was sort of scared that it would taste over the top, but the brew proved me wrong. It was magnificent, the first flavoured tea (with the exception of Earl Greys) I’ve had that seemed to have its own character. Plus, it won’t get bitter if you oversteep it. This has been the fastest I’ve ever gone through 4 oz of tea.
