When I first joined Steepster and began my love and obsession of tea, I realized early on that I almost always enjoyed teas that JacquelineM enjoyed. However, when she first began raving about this tea I was skeptical. Black tea with no additives? Steeped for more than 5 minutes? Tangy? Roasty?
Well, I have secretly been eyeing this tea for awhile, but recently began dreaming of it since it is supposed to be amazing with Everything Bagels. I love Everything Bagels! So I bit the bullet and ordered myself a sizeable bag which I received today. I originally planned to try this tomorrow because of the caffeine, but after smelling the leaves I was sold. So here I am drinking this tea sans additions (and I pretty much add milk/sugar to black teas as a rule!) AND I love this tea. Seriously, I feel like I have had many delicious teas but this is complex, smooth, roasty, cocoa and naturally sweet tea. I don’t exactly know how to describe it so luckily JacquelineM has already done an outstanding job of this.
Wow, this tea is good and I just can’t believe that I love this so much. I am considering a very high rating, but first I will give a good rating. If the next infusion is that amazing, a rating of a 100 may be one the way.
