Review

Type of Water: Bottled Water (Reverse Osmosis)
Rinse Time: 10 Seconds – 10 Seconds
Steep Time: 15 Seconds – 20 Seconds – 25 Seconds
Mineral forward, somewhat watery, malty-sweet black tea flavor profile.
It tastes of roasted malt, light cream, dark wood, brown sugar, and a dates.
Sweet, yet not overly complex.
Reasonable body and texture.
Flavor notes: Malt, cream, dark wood, brown sugar, and dates.
I am enjoying this tea with a few Royal Dansk butter cookies and they pair nicely together, as the tea cuts through the sweet and buttery flavor of the cookies.
