The dark red infusion has sweet notes of baked fruit and malt. The taste is fruity and bold with moderate astringency and a dry nutty finish.
I've had this sample for a few years and am pleasantly surprised by how bold the results were with the first two steepings producing the best flavor. It also held up well with a splash of milk. While I rarely drink CTC teas at home, I would look forward to seeing this on a tea menu.
