I’m backlogging this, this is what I had yesterday, so it might be a bit light on details. This was a very good, smooth black tea. No bitterness or astringency. I didn’t really taste the fruity finish that the description lists. What I did taste was a note of yams or sweet potatoes, which sounds weird for a tea but it was actually interesting and tasty. For me, the initial note was the sweet potato taste followed by the black tea taste, no fruity finish.

I put some of this in a travel mug to go, and left about half of it in my car while I was at a Beethoven piano sonata marathon. By the time I came back, it was ice cold, so, I unintentionally found out this makes a very good iced tea, lol.
