This sample bag was included in my 2022 Advent Calendar mailing box. Being breakfast, I steeped up a mugful to spend some time browsing the internets. Steeped for the full 4 minutes with 212* water. As per usual, no add ins were used. It is malty and astringent. As per usual, no ad ins were used. I could see myself drinking this again with a small amount of sugar or milk. My impression is that this is a solid black tea. Probably not something I would order from them as it reminds me of other locally sourced black teas but I’m glad I received this tea to sample!

Flavors: Astringent, Malt

In the early 2000’s, my brother worked for a grocery company that removed items from the shelves and I ended up with a cabinet filled with random tea.

After I finished that cabinet, I started trying new things and exploring the world of tea. Still exploring, still learning, and loving this community.

I tend to take my tea with no additions and quite hot. Though often I find myself having to reheat my mug due to distractions. I’m partial to herbals, white tea, green, and blacks. But I really will try anything once.

Rankings:
100-80 Love in varying degrees
79- 60 Good, but in the friendzone
60-50 Ok, would drink if offered
49-20 Don’t make me try it again!
19-0 Didn’t finish!
