For a free sample from Upton, I was very impressed with this tea. I have not explored many black teas yet, and am not usually a huge fan of them. I prefer green and white tea. This being said, I decided to try this out since it showed up in my last shipment from Upton. I was quite surprised when I steeped my first cup. The aroma and initial flavor did not grab my attention or anything. As I drank, however, I grew to appreciate the tea for its consistent and pleasant taste. It is quite smooth while having just a touch of astringency. I really enjoyed the chocolate and malty undertones in the flavor. Overall a very enjoyable tea, and the price cannot be beat.
