[EN] Honestly, this thing has become one of my favourite black teas. The scent it has is divine, and the complex malty, earthy, sweet and it's just... Something completely unique. I'm extremely bad at describing how things taste, but this tea just makes you think as you sip, and every time you take a sip, you notice something new in the flavour. This tea rewards you for taking it seriously, but is also super approachable for a newcomer. Definitely a must try for black tea lovers.
[EN] I have been drinking this tea for years. It is good taste, sweet, fragrant and mild. It goes gentle to the stomach. You can drink it full year around, any time, even during evening, won't give any problems for sleeping. The price is reasonable.
[EN] The dry leaves smell EXACTLY like a certain type of small, clean cattle barn common where I grew up. The sort of barn with gentle cows quietly chewing, buckets of twine and secret kittens in spring. It's a very honest sort of smell and I was startled to be transported back to childhood by opening a bag of tea. When brewed, the vanilla is apparent and 'honey-like' is apt. It's almost brothy in body; the malt becoming more apparent with multiple washes. But that smell though... Good Job.
[EN] Very good, but it has a bit of a smoky flavor to it that I don't especially enjoy. It also is not as delicate-tasting as the description would have you believe; perhaps I am using too much or oversteeping. Regardless, good but not exceptional.

[EN] Touch of blueberry? Seems extremely mild to me.
