I got this black tea for more casual drinking and kombucha, and it fulfils such purpose very well. The smell is fruity and malty with lots of sweet notes like caramel. Wet leaf aroma is then more forest-like.

The taste is robust but not agressive. There is a very nice bread crust and cacao bitterness, as well as mild malty sweetness. After drinking, a pleasant, almost floral fragrance persists for quite a while. Overall, I like the tea a lot.

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
