One of my favorite blends from Upton. The light smokiness in aroma and flavor adds character yet does not overpower the whole leaf base. There is a light sweetness (possibly from the Darjeeling), a light woodiness, and just a touch of malt -- making for an interesting and satisfying brew.
I understand that it makes a good iced tea as well, but my pot is usually empty before it cools... that good! Second steep works well, but much subdued in flavor.
