Logging this one from memory, so the details are fuzzy, which is a shame. This tea deserves adjectives! I think it may very well be my favorite unflavored black to date. The flavor is rich and strong, with some grape/raisin notes. It reminded me of a darjeeling, but had none of the mustiness you sometimes get with darjeeling. I’m really going to have to drink this again so I can write a proper tasting note, because this isn’t cutting it. For now, just know that the tea is delicious. More details soon.

I went to their website to check out this tea and WOW pricey! :(

Oh I know, and 15 grams does not go far. I got this fancy tin of it, but the tea itself (tightly rolled leaves) just barely covers the bottom. I don’t think I’d ever be able to afford it, but I won it in a contest so I am living it up for now!

Lol…that might be the most psychotic price I’ve ever seen…
