Very rich and almost coffee-like – this is the closest any tea I’ve had has ever come to coffee without actually having coffee beans in it. I can taste a hint of vanilla, which tastes natural to me and not at all artificial. I also picked up a tannic aftertaste. The aroma is heavenly – almost chocolatey, with a hint of the vanilla! I brewed this in my Teavana PerfectTea maker and steeped it for 4 minutes, with a teaspoon of rock sugar added. Next time, I’ll see how it stands up to some cream!

First let me say that, as a huge fan of Arthurian mythology, I had to buy this tea as soon as I saw its name. This is a great, robust black tea that’s perfect for morning drinking! This was my first cup. I steeped it for about 4 minutes in my Teavana PerfectTea maker, and added in a teaspoon of rock sugar for sweetness. The tea brewed to a gorgeous deep red. Taste-wise, I got plenty of maltiness from the Assam and a little undercurrent of smokiness as well, with a slightly tannic aftertaste. Overall, very hearty and enjoyable! Next time I might try it with cream :)

Bright and refreshing, yet soothing. Just had this tea for the first time the other night, as I was suffering from simultaneous bouts of anxiety and cramps. As I sat there trying to decide which tea I should drink before bed, I suddenly remembered that I had purchased a Mighty Leaf sample box a while back – this tea was the one I reached for, and I wasn’t disappointed. Typically, I’m someone who adds sugar, sugar+milk, or honey to every type of tea….with this one I didn’t have to add anything and it still tasted amazing. I will definitely be replenishing my supply when I run out!
