I bought this because I love Golden Monkey, and face it, because we tea junkies are always wanting to try something new! And I thought my youngest would like it because she likes Golden Monkey and Southern Season’s Irish breakfast, while Harney and Sons Irish Breakfast is a bit too strong for her. This blend was right on the money for her and she is loving it. The aroma is distinctive Assam with a nice high note. The flavor is Assam smoothed by GM. I tried it plain, and it was okay but not stellar, but when I added milk and sugar (because this is second breakfast, after all) it was very good. Although I will happily drink it, I wouldn’t just have to have it. Youngest, however, is oo-ing and ah-ing and will probably want me to keep this one on hand. A nice morning pot in preparation for my upcoming, day-long extravaganza of oolong with new tea from Quiltguppy and the tetsubin from hubby!
