Yummm I am really digging black teas now,,,I just needed to learn more and know which ones to buy!! I love this tea!
The dry leaves are heavy, thick,, gold and dark brown colored all twisted perfectly the same size. They smell like sorghum.
I like the brew I did on this one, 190F for 3". It gave the liquor a caramel brown color but still able to see through and also with scent of caramel.
The flavor is fresh, clean, sweet, raisin, sorghum, no tannin or bitter. Very Very good!!!

Second Steeping – equally as delicious, steeped also for 3" at 190F. This tea has absolutely no harshness or bitter or grit to the tongue. Just sweet clean flavor. Love!!!

Third Steeping needed 4 1/2 minutes. Still good. Probably wouldn’t do another steeping, this was its last good one :)

Having a pot of this Western style this morning. 190F , steeped 2 cups for 3 minutes.
Very malty scented and flavor but not as much sweetness. It has a touch of sweetness. The wet leaves show that this one is all buds and very young leaves. Very nice tea.

Flavor is honey sweet. This tea can take longer steeps for flavor and it has no bitterness or astringency bc this is high quality tea. All gorgeous buds.
Got a new tea pet who enjoyed this tea as well :)
