Yum, this is good! When I placed a second order with QTT after my initial batch of samples I opted for a sample of this instead of the oz b/c thus far I had been on the fence about the black base teas. Oh well.
This tea is creamy, sweet. The dry leaf screams maple syrup. There are little orange candies or something in here that make it fun to look at. I think my next cup will be doctored up a bit. A fun fall treat.
I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.
