Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

This is not actually my first time tasting this tea, I had my first cup a few days ago, and have had a cup of this every day since… this is just my first time logging it.

This is lovely… it’s incredibly smooth and it possesses a very nice flavor. Not quite as “light” in flavor as a typical Ceylon, but not as hefty as an Assam… somewhere right in between. One of those pleasant, comforting kind of teas. Very nice.
Sigh another teas that is missed because LeafSpa is no longer with us.

Just got this today! Woot!!! :)

I’m surprised I am the first to log it – I hope I do it some justice.

This has a ‘warm’ black tea smell – very smooth. It’s medium-dark in color with a hint of redness to it…or maybe maroon would be a better description of the hint of color.

The taste is very clean and smooth yet crisp and mouth watering. If there was a near perfect standard black tea that everyone should have on hand – this is darned-close!

The reason why I am liking this so much is because it’s the no nonsense type – one that you can always rely on when a black tea is needed. It’s not overly strong and yet it IS flavorful. It’s one of those “just right” type teas, ya know!?

First cup of the day – I had some backlogging to do and this morning has been a full morning of emails! Oye! I’m just finishing up this cup and enjoyed it very much. Check out my previous review here on steepster.

Read my other tasting notes on this one! I am packaging up some swap boxes and including this in many of them…it’s a goodie! At least I think it is! :) Cheers!

Backlogging…started my day off with this…it’s been a hellofaday! Oye!

Great medium black tea…smooth ending…

Had a cup of this one because I really wanted a nice plan black tea – this did the trick but it’s time to move on to other teas as I got a large shipment from Red Leaf today and can’t wait to jump in!!!! YAY!

I started this crazy day with 3 cups of this…

WIth a tad of maple syrup for kicks! :)

backlogging 2 cups from this morning…I’ve had a hard time logging in to steepster all day so I will backlog what I have had so far today…

Great follow-up to a oat bagel!!!!

Thank you, TeaEqualsBliss, for parting with some of this wonderful tea

I’ve been drinking flavored teas and green teas for a long time, so I was glad to receive a “plain” black tea to try.

This has a wonderful flavor profile – even though it’s just a “plain” tea. It’s bold but also sweet. TeaEqualsBliss described it as “clean-tasting,” and I agree. It’s smooth and soft, almost a velvety taste.

Absolutely wonderful! You could pair with mint or another tea, but this tea holds its own. YUM!
