I had written a review of this and then my computer died and I had to restart and lost it. Boo!
Anyway I had one longish steep of this, about 4 minutes or so, I thought this tea was malty and very grainy. Definitely reminded me of toast and had a sweet flavor with only a tinge of bitterness. I thought that might be related to the longer steeping time.
My second cup I re-steeped the same leaves for around 3 minutes and got a nice mahogany colored tea liquor. Now I think it reminds me a bit of the dark German rye bread that I get sometimes and it’s also a bit like a golden monkey.
This is a tasty tea but I will probably not feel a burning desire to order more because I already have a few teas with similar flavor profiles. I enjoyed it though!

I guess the summer heat is getting to your computer :)
I feel inundated with quality black China teas with similar flavor profiles. I’m trying to home in on my favorites and keep them in stock.
@Triumph, yeah I know the feeling but right now I am inundated with darjeelings!
@kOmpir, I don’t know what happened but it was annoying!
