Dry this is sweet and fruity. Its kind of pipe tobacco like. Steeped the dark caramel cup scent remains sweet and fruity but now reminds me of Darjeeling. The taste begins light with a slight maltiness. Then the tannins kick in and flood your tongue. It is refreshing and passes quickly leaving a slight toffee note that just as quickly turns into a fruity aftertaste.
Between the first and second cup I took my wife out for lunch. We went to BBQ place in town. I had 1/4 rack of ribs, baked beans, and smashed potatoes. My wife had tenderloin and fries. It was so extremely good. While eating, I was treated to watching a bald eagle soar outside my window. Such a beautiful site.
Came home and prepared a second cup of this one. It had a maltier scent than the first. The taste was very much like the first. This is a solid cup of black tea. I highly recommend a repeat of my entire day.

I have that one in my stash! Might have to move it up in the queue.
It always makes me happy to see someone here describing something nice that happened in their day :)
Tea and positivity…I love Steepster. :)
They sell this at A Southern Season. I maybe should get some since no one seems to be worried about the Chernobyl thing. LOL
Ashmanra, I recall your being concerned about this with another Georgia tea. I have Googled this to death and can find no FDA warning or credible concerns for tea grown and exported from this region. They do check this stuff and have strict limits.
