Reviews & Ratings
This is a good tea - exactly what you would expect with this recipe. Still quite young tasting but a good investment. I think that it should be quite improved by 2014-2015. Beautiful sweet/fragrant aroma and a faintly honey-like initial taste. Strongly astringent still - almost distinctly minty or camphor-like. Will be lovely when it calms down a bit.
I will likely buy more to hold on to for a few years.
