Oh yeah – this tea. What a luscious blend. There is light cocoa and a little malt and a bit of a bright sweetness that is very pleasing. Nice and round with a tiny bit of tingle on the tip of my tongue at the end. This is a bright and happy morning tea to be up with ridiculously early for Easter. It’s smooth and has an entirely different groove from a lot of the black teas I love most. This blend reminds me Sam Cooke – but not Sam Cooke alone – specifically the blend of Sam Cooke’s voice with Lou Rawls on this song:

I really like this tea and dealing with Brenden is a pleasure.
Haha! Love this, and would love to have a tea that grooves the way Sam Cooke’s music does, awesome:-)
Yeah, baby!
Haha that’s an awesome comparison…and I can totally see it, too! :) So glad you’re enjoying this one!
