Composty earthy tones underneath the “Darjeeling” taste. Not an extremely front of the mouth experience, but still face puckering. having it with whole milk and mesquite honey, but it is still quite bitter. And the buzz? Quick and fierce, like a hammer in the heart. Good stuff for the morning.
Not as active here as I once was.

I think I may have been spoiled by my local tea monger, because this tea is good, but it just isn’t as mind blowing awesome as what I’ve gotten in the past.
