I just got back from the dentist. The whole time I was there I managed not to jump out of the chair by thinking of tea. :)
When I got home half of my mouth was and still is numb. I am having to sip this out of only one side of my mouth and yes I have spilled a little on myself.
The first flavor I am getting is malty. I love a malty tea!
I steeped one tarantula as Dylan calls them in about 12 ounces of water for 3 minutes at a boiling temp water.
Its a very smooth, non astringent, non bitter black tea.
I guess it does not matter much about the rating or my feelings on it since I guess they are not being sold anymore on the Teavana site which is a shame.
I will add more tasting notes another time when my palate is fully functioning and I can actually take real sips but so far loving it!
Thank you Missy and Dylan for sending me some!

Be careful sipping-you could burn your mouth if you sip on the numb side.
Teavana has at least a couple decent straight black teas, but their overall black selection is very sad.
This one I really like. It’s good hot and iced. It very light and smooth for me. I just want to bounce around after I drink it. Maybe that’s what that tea drunk thing is.
Thanks Scott I will be careful :)
Yeah I have never ordered from Teavana myself but this stuff isn’t bad at all.
Missy I think I did get tea drunk! I broke my glass teapot when drinking this :(
Good thing they are under 5 bucks right now on clearance at the english tea store!!!
I’m glad to hear that half of you enjoyed it ;)
D’oh broken tea pot! sad face
oooh how many steeps did you get through? the third is my fave.
This was my second steep. :( I could not brew the bud again because some glass fell into the pot with the bud still in it. :(
I have more though Dylan and Missy were generous and sent me several :) So I will try it again soon. I loved what I had of it !
LOL @ Dylan yes half of me enjoyed the half I got to drink from half my face. :)
