Dry leaf is blackish and curly, with golden tips. 1 tsp tea, 12 oz water, 205 F, 4 min. Bright clear rosy amber liquor, mature, brisk, malty flavor. Inexpensive tea but quite good. After tasting, drank with milk and agave nectar. The leaves expanded a lot while steeping; they may stand a 2nd go.

What I paid for this tea (in a handsome tin) was what one would pay for the tin alone. However, were it expensive, it would still rate a thumbs-up! Has a full-bodied maltiness which is enriched rather than diminished by milk and sugar.

Resteep. Not as strong as 1st pass, but good flavor and not bitter. Milk and sweetener.
