I’m pretty sure I didn’t order the small package of this that came in my order from Yunnan Sourcing recently. Thanks for the sample!

I really like this a lot. Had a cup yesterday afternoon—ah, I guess that’s what people are meaning when they say “malty”? Very nice. Not bitter or astringent. It brewed up very dark, and I thought maybe it would be one I’d have to drink up with milk, but no.

Wish I could say something more sophisticated about the flavor, this tea probably deserves it. But that is not my strong suit.

Yeah, Yunnan Sourcing typically includes a sizable free sample in every order. I got this one as a sample too!

I think this is the first time I’ve ordered from them! I’m pretty happy so far!

This sounds exactly like something I would like. I’ll wishlist it now, before I forget. Thanks!

Drinking up the last bit of this on my shelf! I quite like it, though I’m not terribly fond of the licorice/anise part of the flavor. It’s difficult to find a good herbal tea blend that isn’t super sweet or full of things I don’t like much (hibiscus, the aforementioned licorice). There’s enough going on here otherwise that I mostly enjoy it, particularly the cinnamon and peppercorns.
