I love the taste of this tea. It is smooth and rich. It has loads of flavor. I am not fond of fruit teas and this is so nice for a different flavor. It doesn't have that unpleasant bite some teas have when you brew them too long. I don't drink coffee in the summer because it raises my body temperature and I just feel too hot, but i crave it. This is a great taste to take its place. I am pleased that it doesn't give me any indigestion or reflux. I can drink it in the evening. It brews a satisfying dark brown color. I love it with a little brown sugar.
