I finished this today, and I see the tin was five years old! It was still pretty good, too. Not too strong so no milk or sugar needed even though they call it a breakfast tea. Great in the morning or afternoon, but I generally drank it in the afternoon. Not a smokey keemun but truly one bearing wine notes, just as they describe.

This was one of the first ever loose leaf teas I bought, and I chose it largely because I have a daughter named Grace and was looking for a tea to surprise her with that day! I was fortunate that it was a really good and didn’t disappoint.

I have had quite a few teas from this company and they have all been good. I am ready to get to work on lots of my newer teas now that I have accomplished a few of the sipdowns I had planned.

Ooooh, I love a good Keemun. I;ve got some Panda No1 that’s at least for years old, and it’s getting all winey.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about ten years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

I am also reviewing for Sororitea Sisters now!
