This tea seems to be hitting its full potential now. It is far from my favourite, but well for a fuss-free leather-like black tea.

It has a sweet, leathery scent with fleeting floral, butter, nutty and earthy aromas. Taste is also mostly sweet and leathery. The charcoal bitterness is quite nice, but otherwise there is not much more to it beyond some woody notes.

Flavors: Bitter, Butter, Char, Cranberry, Drying, Floral, Leather, Nuts, Oak wood, Sweet, Wet Earth, Wood

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 1 min, 0 sec 5 g 6 OZ / 180 ML

Dang, I forgot I had this and still haven’t tried it. Wish my memory had been jogged before I placed a black tea order. How’s the caffeine in this one?

Average caffeine levels I’d say, just about noticeable, but not rushy.

Bio

Currently, I am a PhD student at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds.

I have been a fan of green tea for a while and only recently (in 2017) started exploring other kinds of tea in greater depth. I rarely drink blends or white tea and avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied. The one thing that I am currently missing in my collection are teas from India, in particular some Darjeelings.
