Dark, yet sweet with a robust after taste that lingers for a few seconds. Hints of almond shells.

A wonderful tea! This is a fantastic Pu-erh it has a great bite and would be great for a coffee drinker try to quit that nasty habit! It has a great rich color and go’s very well with a nice savory breakfast. One of my favorites for sure!!

My first cake and it’s delicious. I was nervous to steep a cake, but it went well. Very similar to Maidens Ecstasy from Samovar. Dark, sweet and flavoursome but not overpowering. Very nice morning blend. First steep at 3 minutes, second just as good at 1.5 minutes.
