This was stronger than I anticipated but that’s a good thing in my book! It’s rich! It’s brisk and fairly bold. I really like that it;s whole leaf Nilgiri hand blended with Yunnan Golden Buds! YUM!

Backlog:

I like this one quite a bit. Bright and brisk, just like the description suggests. Pleasant flavor, really smooth. One of those teas that is nice to keep on hand … for moments when you want something that is bold, robust and still easy to drink. Very nice.
