I tried this one a few days ago, but thought that my less than optimal steeping equipment at work ruined it’s potential, so I made it again this morning. It’s quite bold, like when you’re alarm screams at you in the morning. Talk about a good wake-up tea! The problem I found, was in distinguishing the notes. At first, the only note I could think of was “strong,” but strong what? As it cooled, I think I got some of the citrus note, and maybe a hint of chocolate, but definitely not as easily discerning as some of the Chinese black teas I love. Overall, I think this is one of those teas for groggy mornings when you need a kick in the pants, and I definitely have more than a few of those mornings per week, so I’m glad to have this in my cupboard!

I’m glad it’s not just me! I feel like I’ve gotten better at tasting different notes, but this one was hard. A good test for my palate, I suppose!
Yeah, this one is strong!! And more complex as it cools for sure :D

I liked it with little milk and maple syrup. It’s so chocolaty and rich
Mmm, I should try that!
