Makes the best ice tea, ever! I do it the concentrate way. Double the leaves and steep it with boiling water. Pour into a beer bottle with topper. When I’m ready, I pour it over ice. Sometimes add water to mellow it, because it has a nice bite. Plus, you can resteep the leaves.

I’m not normally into Rooibos blends(because Rooibos is great by itself), but this one is a blast… of blueberry!

Love this tea! If you’re looking for that Bergamot flavor without the caffeine of black teas this is your tea. Or if you just want a fun tea with a nice sharp flavor, try this.

Haven’t had this tea for awhile, but I do remember it standing out as a powerful EG. Memorably good.

When they say malty, chocolatey and smooth they aren’t kidding. I’m really loving this black tea. An interesting note, in the steeping notes they recommend steeping it 4 times. Normally, I haven’t heard much about resteeping black teas, but I followed directions. I can say that the 4th steep is lighter but still has good flavor.

To the comment about this tea tasting like hay. I would agree that it can taste like that but this is a light and subtle tea. This tea isn’t going to bang you on the head. This is tea that you have explore. Then you’ll likely find the flavors these other reviewers are talking about.

Also, you can steep this tea forever!
