Dry this tea smells kind of smokey and floral to me…
After steeping it for about 5 min at 96 degrees it looks like a redder version of orange pekoe, add a spoon of brown sugar and a dash of milk and you have yourself a light, creamy brown cup of tea that smells rather plain. However, the smell undersells the taste. For something that smells so plain and looks like just any plain old black tea it is actually quite delicious. Unfortunately, I can’t compare it to other English Breakfast teas because this is the first time in my 22 years on this beautiful earth that an English Breakfast tea has made its way onto my taste buds. What I can tell you is that for a plain black tea, it is delicious. It has a bolder tea flavor (which I quite like) with a hint of something floral to it and it tastes like there’s a dab of honey to it – even tho the only sweetener I added was brown sugar). It also has a bit of kick to it (caffeine wise, that is), a good “wake me up” tea.
Flavors: Floral, Honey
