I hadn’t really given this a proper review last time because I had been super busy back when I tried it first. I owe a lot of the productivity of the last few weeks to this tea, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly without it!
The blend is made of dark, spindly leaves, and the tea brews up to a lighter color than the typical black tea, having a somewhat lighter body as well. The aroma is intoxicating—words like “perfume” and “bouquet” come to mind, but never in an over-the-top way. It’s a very fresh, natural, earthy scent with fruit and florals mixed in, like a deep forest after a rain. The taste is luxuriously rich in spite of being light-bodied, with that malty, slightly “fuzzy” Chinese black tea feel. The lingering notes are sweeter and more fruit-like. It’s very enjoyable at any time of day, and I’m now curious about trying the two individual teas that make up the blend as well.
