Method: 1.5 tsp @ 208 degrees in 8 oz, 4 minutes, French Press
Dry Leaf Aroma: Cocoa and light malt
Brewing Aroma: Strongly malty
Flavor: I was really hoping to pick up some of the honey flavor from the description, or at least some sweetness, but this was pretty neutral. I enjoyed the malty flavors, and I didn't find the tea to be overly bitter or astringent, but I also did not find many interesting notes. I think this is a good tea, but not my fave.
