Brought some of this tea with me to the office today and it was AWESOME! I got notes of cocoa, bread, malt, and that fresh taste from the Darjeeling! I think Stephanie is right that, even though I have 4.4 ounces, it probably won’t last long! I’ve also decided I love it at 2 minutes steep. I tried their recommended 4 minutes and I think the malt takes over and you lose some of the complexity. 2 minutes is perfect. :)

It was great for me @3 min
I love Darjeeling in black blends apparently. Pretty sure it’s why the Black Lotus is my fave <3
boychik – I’ll try it at 3 minutes just for kicks!
Stephanie – never tried the black lotus…that was a Butiki tea, huh?
Black Lotus is amazing. Still hoard some. Time to let go maybe
She might have a few of the blending kits left- it’s the three teas that make up black lotus with mixing recipe each in a tin inside a wooden box…I really shouldn’t but I want it.
This tea sounds great! I’m looking for a good strong black tea or two. The Tiger Assam from A&D sounds very good also!
