Verdict

This is by far one of my favorite black teas to date. It has a smooth aroma and flavor note consistent throughout the entire sip. It was described by another person as tasting like a nice milk tea minus the sugar and cream - for what it's worth. The only downside is the tea it requires a lot of tea (volume) to hit the right mass for a brew as the leafs are quite large. I used the entire sample pack for this pot.

This tea was so good I attempted a second brew with the same time, just reducing water volume to 1000ml and got a fantastic second pot as well.
