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

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.
I mainly drink unflavored green tea, but this black tea is light but with a deep flavor. I don't know how else to say it, but I love it.
One of the most aromatic, delicate and sweet blends. There hasn’t yet been anyone among my friends who has tasted this tea at my place and have not asked for it during the next visit.
First tea of the day -- absolutely lovely
having drank lots of earl grey over many years, this is my favorite. if you love bergamot flavor, definitely give this a try.
When I want a flavorful tea to pick me up in the morning or from my afternoon slump English Breakfast tea is my go to tea, strong with a dash of milk.
When I long for chocolate then drinking this chai is a great substitute.
Delicious, bright and fresh taste. Reminds me of tea I drank with my mother.
