Review: Superb flavour, big leaves and brews quickly. - Like Birchall tea and had a disaster buying their breakfast blend that was like dust. This however is a large leaf and sits well n he diffuser leaving no residue in the cup or mug. It has a lovely flavour. Not too tannic or strong but perfect for morning or afternoon. If you like a really strong brew you will need to add a bit extra and leave it to steep for a few more minutes. Enjoy. It comes in a resealable bag but I transfer mine to an airtight glass jar and that works well. Definitely my favourite.
Review: My new favourite - It's my new favourite -- the taste is good, the colour and flavour are excellent, and it's just strong enough but not too strong. Very good tea overall!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light, refreshing, lovely taste
*by M***N on 23 October 2024*

Large leaf so don't pack too tight if using a tea ball. Excellent but expensive.
