Good tea and budget friendly.

"Aroma: malty, chocolaty, sweet smelling. Taste: malty, cacao, light pastry sweetness, some fruit and floral hints at times. Mouth feel: full, thick, malty, not very astringent and not bitter."

David J. (5/5)

Pleasant but fades fast. Good value though.

"This tea has a pleasant flavor (simple black tea taste with a note of raisin, to me), smooth tannin profile, and faint but meaningful mineral aftertaste. The fragrance is nothing special, but I do really like how the dry leaves smell exactly like cocoa to me. Brewed gongfu style, it's unfortunately kind of a three steep wonder; even when pouring out of the gaiwan immediately after filling it I find it simply does not last very long, even when using a lot of leaf. Brewed in a big pot, it doesn't have this problem obviously, but I'd recommend using more leaf than you usually would. Having been critical, I'll say this: for 12c/gram (current price for 100g), you could get a lot worse. I have. Much better for tea to be a bit weak but perfectly pleasant than strong but undrinkable. Recommended for casual sipping."

"The value of this tea just can't be beat. It is shockingly good for the price. Notes of malt and cacao are present, and the fruit really only appears in later steeps. I reccomend brewing this in clay, as it rounds out some of the sharper notes to the tea."

Honey, Agave Syrup, and Milk Chocolate

"I'm not sure what type of fruits Scott had in mind for coming up with the name for this tea but for me this has strong nose of honey and milk chocolate more than anything. This tea produced a rich and full-bodied soup. The smell of the honey is a bit on the strong side which makes this a great afternoon option for me. Not much complexity going on but it holds its ground on higher temperature brews as well. I get a good 5-6 brews out of this."
