Alright, this is growing on me a month or two later. 3 grams in a boiling 12 ounces of water for 5 minutes seems to be the sweet spot. Gone with the baked bread and wheat, in with the dried cherry and malty-honey notes. Made a thermos of this to take to work so I had another warm thing after my morning coffee (yay, sudden cold snap with snow!) and it was heavenly to sip on after taking aggregate samples out in the mine. Mmmm, I’m suddenly glad that I own 100 grams of this stuff.

Flavors: Cherry, Dried Fruit, Honey, Malt

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 3 g 12 OZ / 354 ML

That sounds really nice right now and perfect for the weather and work.

That must be what I’m drinking this morning (thank you kindly)! It is definitely the closest-to-honey unflavored I’ve had in recent memory. Very nice.

It is, Derk! If you’d like to try some, I’ll gladly send a bag of it and some other nice teas your way.

Yeah, it’s one of the best honey blacks I’ve had, GG. It has that nice, smooth honey note without the odd mustiness that usually goes along with it. Been drinking it for a few days in a row now. :)

Thank you for the offer, Eelong. I might message you soon :)

Bio

Eel and tea lover. Big fan of dark oolongs, Nepal blacks, and fruity herbals. I occasionally make the terrible mistake of trying weird teas and then spend a good 5 minutes scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush trying to get the taste out of my mouth.

Ratings:
100: Downright addictive.
95+: A definite favorite. This is something I’ll reach for again when I want something special.
90-95: I’d drink this again without question. There’s probably 4 ounces of it sitting by the tea kettle.
80-89: I’m glad I tried this and I’ll happily drink through the rest of the pouch. Might not be on the reorder list, though.
60-79: This is either mediocre and acceptable or I hate it and don’t want to skew the rating.
40-59: Uh, this is drinkable. Probably.
20-39: We’re entering the abyss. Here lies danger.
1-19: Please take me out if I ever try to brew this one again.

If I’ve recently reviewed something that you’d like to try, let me know! I usually buy teas in 25 gram samples and have extra to pass around.
