It it is a glorious breakfast tea and so reasonably priced for a tea of this calibre, it can be an everyday affordable luxury.

The leaves are gorgeous! the dry leaf smell reminds me of very strong dried fruits, such as dates and raisins. maybe a little goji berry, too. I also get a whiff of sweet tobacco, like what my father used to smoke in his pipe when I was a girl. The taste is very interesting, slightly caramel-y, and i’m also getting the goji berry, and date. The taste is similar to a robust and complex Assam, yet also smooth and a little earthy.

A very positive review, with beautiful closeup photos of the dry leaf and brewed cup, showing a yellower color than on Canton Tea Co's website. This review highlights this tea's mildness, and notes on smoky and earthy tones, as well as a suggestion of caramel and honey.
