This tea is just fantastic, the biscuit smell just makes my mouth water. The broken rolled leaves unfurl and steep into a bright amber tea. Its brisk, robust, and malty without being bitter but has the astringency of a very good assam tea. I’m trying to talk my wife into letting me buy a pound next time as my one ounce sample isn’t lasting very long.

Biscuit and malt and bitter-less? I have to get this!

Dan

@Stephanie: As long as you do not over steep, I only steep this tea for 3 minutes.

Yes, I thought it was impossible at first but MM can be bitter if you overdo it. I have had several perfect cups, though, so you just have to pay attention.
