At first sip – when really hot – just a minute after infusing – this tasted a little skunky. That taste faded, thankfully.

There are sweet, sour, and woodsy notes. Just when I’m thinking “Ceylon” it sort of tastes a little like Darjeeling.

The aftertaste is sort of woodsy, too.

Alright but not my fave, really.
Drinkable, tho!

When I don’t know what tea others might like, or I can’t decide what I want, this is my go-to tea. It is a good all-round pleasant tea. Nice colour and wonderful aroma.

A blend of select Ceylon teas. An earthy/ tobaccoey scent, with some corn silk and floral thrown in. A light citrussy tea, with some earth notes to ground it. Very pleasant
