A fantastic black tea – brews up golden/coppery, a bit lighter in color than some black teas I’ve had recently, but, don’t let that fool you. It’s packed with flavor. It is a bit lighter (not so heavy), but, the lightness allows me to explore the complexity of this tea.
It is sweet. The sweetness first comes as an almost caramel-y, somewhat burnt-sugar kind of taste that quickly evolves into a raisin-y taste. That sugar-y, dried-fruit kind of note. As I continue to sip, I notice hints of leather and oak and cocoa.
Now, I’m awaiting my second infusion of these leaves… the first was so good that I just had to see if I could get more from them!

my second infusion is still light and coppery in color. The sweet potato and pumpkin notes are emerging now, with hints of brown sugar in the background. This is one that is well worth the effort to steep twice – I think I like this second infusion even better than the first!
This sounds absolutely amazing!
Wow.
