This tea is truly lovely! I usually go for fun and complicated blends but I really appreciate the pure flavor of this tea. It really is almost magical how it has that distinct black tea flavor with zero bitterness.
After trying a few cups of this, I find I like it at just a little over the 3 minute mark, which will give it that hint of bitterness that it lacks in the recommended 2-3 minute mark, which I find I prefer.
