This is a nice addition to my collection. I reach for it many days in a row. It is mellow but tasty. I re-steep it immediately following the first steep and then a mix them for four cups of tea which is dangerous bc then I sit longer than I should...

The classic China breakfast black - slight smokey undertones. Organic.

I'm a little out of practice with loose leaf tasting, getting back into it.
First, I noticed the smell of the dry leaves. I did not note any chemical smells, but the aroma wasn't strong. The liquor was not strong to my unpracticed sense of smell either, it was a pretty pale reddish brown,; I was suspicious that it wasn't going to be strong or robust enough. The smell of the liquor was of course stronger than the dry leaves, but I would need help to describe it accurately- descriptions online will tell you smokey and floral, and that seems right. I drank it black. I was struck by how smooth it went down. I would not describe it as "robust" but it certainly had enough flavor. I would think that if you're used to something stronger, then maybe enjoy this late morning or early afternoon.
Hours later, I still felt more alert, more focused, and calmer than my usual self.
That is a very helpful and accurate review - highlights of this tea are mellow, smooth, no astringency and just enough caffeine to give you a boost. And you are quite right, dry leaf aroma is no indicator for varietals - it is the infused leaf that carries any characteristic aroma associated with that particular tea.
Steeping Instructions

Using it daily

The most relaxing time of the day with my wife is our afternoon tea. We take our time as while the tea cools it improves in both flavor, mouth feel, and of course the buzz. This is my only deliberate flirt with caffeine and everything else that is packed into this tea. We believe this time together, music, tea, and laughing improves all the rest of our life.

I discovered this tea some years ago and have been using it ever since.

great non-caffeinated treat when I want something warm and sweetened with honey and almond milk

I love this tea--strong and fragrant!

I bye this tea for 20 years from Silver Tips and it gives me strength i the morning! Thank you so much!

I love the flavor profile of this tea. Perfect for the morning. Lovely color too.

This tea is a pleasant surprise trying it for the first time.

A warming tea always good! I have a cup after dinner so I don’t snack in sweets😊

I look forward to this lovely breakfast tea.

Consistently excellent! I also have this when I wake up in the middle of night and can't get back to sleep. Calming and relaxing.

Love this for afternoon warmth, it’s super rich and tangy. One of the best red tissanes I’ve ever found!

This is my pick me up in the afternoon .

One of my favorite teas

This is the tea my coffee-loving partner drinks every afternoon... after years of making fun of me for drinking tea. It's a liquid treat in a cup.
