This tea brews very quickly, which is convenient. It has an interesting aroma. It smells kind of like cereal. It's very strong, and a little more bitter than I would ideally like, but overall, I like it. It tastes rich and crisp, and a little bit tangy. I added cream and sugar.

Now that I'm sampling it again, after reading your review, it really does smell like cereal to me. As strange as it is, it even has a slight resemblance in aroma to those overly-sweetened kids cereals like lucky charms. I like it though, in spite of not being a fan of those super-sweet cereals.
It's sort of like the aroma suggests sweetness, but then it tastes bitter, which is often what I like in tea.
