medium black tea but with very light Bergamot Flavor, much less than in like Twinings earl grey. A very smooth tea, not acidic or sharp at all.

Bought on 1/24/07; still like, it’s a full-bodied tea, pretty nice although not the exceptional Mokalbari I had while in China 10 years ago that I was trying to find.

Wow – not very tea-heavy, but a great flavorful cinnamony warm drink for a cold day.
I can steep this longer than most other black teas without it getting too sharp.

Am adding a rating system:
95-100:
|| One of the best teas I’ve ever
|| had. Best of the best.
90-94:
|| Very very good tea, something
|| to go in the rotation of having on
|| hand regularly to enjoy.
80-89:
|| Light “wow”, something distinctive
|| about it. Prime example of a “type”
|| of good tea experience.
70-79:
|| Good tea, had something above average
|| But no “wow” factor.
60-69:
|| Okay tea, it was drinkable
|| but nothing special. Not worth
|| buying again.
50-59:
|| If Im in the right mood, maybe it’s OK
|| If I need space on the shelf, may give
|| it away.
25-49:
|| Somebody else may like it,
|| just not me.
0-24:
|| I doubt anyone would enjoy this.
|| Something I would toss before
|| drinking again.
Borrowed format and heavily modified from “Mackie”.
Thanks for the idea!
