Not bad but far from great and it lacks a lot of the cinnamon and camphor/minty notes of previous years.

Very good flavorful black tea!

It's got that deep, awesome flavor that's perfect for hanging out and feeling good. Hits the spot.

This is the tea, that made my formerly gongfu-sceptic partner understand, why I drink my tea the way I do and become excited whehever I ask him if he wants to join my session. And I must say, he has good taste, this tea is inded one of the finest black teas I have ever tried. Very rich and unique flavour profile, without being heavy or too astringent (brewed Gongfu style). We found this tea to be deliciously malty, with subtle honey and fruit aromas joining in the second and third infusion. in our fifth infusion, we tasted some very subtle minty notes. In total, 5g for 100ml lasted us for 6 infusions, however, I think that we could have gotten away with 8, had I not messd up the 4th (my joy and excitement over finally being able to share something that I love with someone I love were rather distracting). Upon using up my sample, I ordered a larger quantity and this tea got its own tin, which not many teas do in this household :) Definitely a new staple that is enjoyed frequently and a great pick-me-up for troubled days.

Earth and grounding at the bottom, red ripeness in the middle, cool air at the top.
This is not a tea I’d drink for deliciousness, but more to study. It seems to have a medicinal, shape shifting quality that cured my upset digestion and eased my cares of the day.
