I’m impressed with this unassuming tea that appears non-descript but brews up smooth and flavorful. There’s a roasty hay note to start and a honey finish on this first steep that disappeared quickly. The second steep was a bit weak, so I extended for another 5 minutes and that brought out the muted toasty notes and the honey finish. I’ll enjoy the rest of this small bag and will try to coax more flavor in an extra steep each time.
Flavors: Hay, Honey, Roasty, Toasty
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!

For the price it seems amazingly complex :)
I am glad to hear it is good one!
