What a beautiful-looking tea. Wow.
I had to measure this out with my scale to get the right amount: 1.5g is what I decided on to start with for an 8 ounce cup. I steeped them right after the other, and have both cups here to compare against one another.
Steep One: 200F, 2 minutes – wow. Cocoa and honey. Really? It’s subtle, and yet, hard to miss. The honey comes in after, almost gooey-like, and the cocoa is at the start of the sip, and finishes more with a dry cacao feeling. It’s really quite exquisite.
Steep Two: 200F, 2 minutes, 30 seconds – Holy moly, this is all honey. It’s almost too sweet. How on earth can I say that with a straight black tea?!

Straight black teas are my fav. Especially honey-like ones.
Oh, I had this today for the first time but haven’t logged it. It’s so delicious!
I love this tea. It’s one of the teas I hoard in my attic (bedroom). I don’t ever want to run out of it. :)
ohh… I didn’t know straight black could be sweet.. ?
Now that sounds crazy to hear about a black….but at the same time it sounds delicious!!
It was just divine, and I’ll have to have more soon. Josh, I highly recommend checking out Verdant; pricey yet worth it (in my opinion).
I adore this tea. My current favorite. I hope they get more in stock before I run out completely!
