Interesting!

Smoky yet flowery taste – brisk and bold! A dark brew – that is for sure!
A very nice tea to start your day or to help pick you up in the afternoon!

It leaves a crusty sort of aftertaste, too!

Smells like chocolate chip cookie dough in the bag. Steeps up pretty dark. Taste surprised me and is quite honey like, with flowery notes as well. Just a hint of mineral-esque notes on the finish. No harshness. I didn’t use any sweetener; I don’t think it needs any.
