I had a sample of this once — I remembered that I liked it, but totally mis-remembered what it tasted like. This may be the most complex tea I’ve ever tasted. I used 4 balls and steeped 4 minutes — though 3 might have been enough, as it turned out quite strong. Most noticeable is the sharp tang of molasses. There actually is something in the flavor that reminds me of leather, as unlikely as this sounds. Also a hint of chocolate-raisin. I’m just hitting the highlights here. It makes me think of lapsang souchong, but it’s not actually a smoky tea, I think the correlation is just that they’re both so strong and multi-layered. It really is a difficult tea to describe. It’s good though, and definitely an experience.
