Sample from Cuppa!

Normally not a fan of black teas. I usually want them flavored somehow, but the plain blacks are starting to grow on me. This one is very nice, though I think if I have it again, I’d brew for longer. It’s very light, and slightly malty. The best way to describe it is “golden”. Yeah, I know, that’s what the name says, but that’s how it tastes. I like it!!

ETA: The more I sip this, the more I’m loving it. I don’t think I’d brew for longer (normally I brew black teas for 5 minutes so they’re strong). This is great as is, and very likely to end up in my tea stash sometime.
