Hooray! I have a whole tin of my own for my cupboard now! I had looked at this for years on the website, and other things kept bumping it out of my cart. Then Russel Allyn kindly agreed to send me a sample and I was taken with the cocoa notes that fool you into thinking you have sme Fujian black tea in the mix. The aroma of the leaves in the tin is soooo nice – rich and fruity.
Youngest steeped this one a little more aggressively than I like but it was still good. To protect the Ceylon Silver Tips, I like to go 205F for about four minutes.
I’ve also been considering this tea for awhile and it is now on my shopping list based on your recommendation. :)
