This blend of matte and black tea makes a deep brown rich tea that seems almost like coffee.  The taste  of Morning Thunder is strong without any bite or bitterness.  Tea lovers will enjoy exploring a brew that is richer than most others, while coffee lovers will love a new, easy way to have a caffeine drink.  I recommend it as your regular warm drink; for travel to hotels where in-room coffee is lousy; and for all travel and camping.  I recommend this for people who do not have time in the morning to brew coffee -- just drop a Morning Thunder bag or two into a travel mug full of hot water and you will have a great morning drink in a minute.
