At first I wasn’t impressed with this tea. It gave me heartburn and I found the taste to be kind of bitter and not very exciting. I rebrewed it yesterday “grandpa style” in a pot and it was much better than before. I used about 6 balls with ~1000mL of water over an hour. The tea is very dark and heavy, but had more of an earthy flavor and less bitterness. It also tasted more like the unsweetened cocoa flavor often associated with this type of tea. I am still on the fence about whether I would buy it again but I think it could be an excellent morning tea. I am going to give it another try and see if I can perfect steeping times and quantity of water to avoid bitterness.

I am a passionate black tea enthusiast, though I do enjoy the occasional oolong and several herbal infusions.
