This tea is so well named and described. I love a bit of plum influence in my tea, and this certainly has that in the best possible way while the anise aspect is also noticeable and so delicious. This tea is incredibly elegant with no sharp edges. It is bold, though. It is not a weak tea by any means. As I said, the name is quite apt! I love it. I needed a good afternoon Darjeeling.
