As described, perfectly. Dreamy, rich scent upon a 4 min brew. Yes, 4 min and zero astringency or bite, just full flavor. Tobacco in the description equates to what we’d say is malty with a hint of sweetness. We truly enjoy this tea and will be purchasing lots more; adding it to our Teasource breakfast tea lineup that revolves year round. Empire Keemun, Ceylon Burning Sun, Albert Square, Darjeeling, Earl Grey, and English & Irish Breakfast.

We're hoping to source a new lot in the future, but there is no guarantee.
A most dignified cup. Perfectly balanced, the ripe fruit and tobacco aromatics immediately impart a gentlemanly grace. Its floral-clove character cleans up nicely.
