Emily H. ★★★★★

That first steep hit with a serious boldness and astringency that really wakes you up, but the sweetness underneath keeps it from being harsh. The long, wiry leaves held up for a second infusion that was surprisingly mellow, which was a nice bonus.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The long, wiry leaves uncurl beautifully in the pot, and that bold astringency is exactly what I want with breakfast—pairs perfectly with a splash of milk. I’ve already finished the sample and wish it came in a bigger bag.

Miles ★★★★★

I'm not usually one for astringent teas, but this one balances that bite with a genuinely sweet finish that lingers nicely. The long, wiry leaves unfurl beautifully in the pot, making a second steep that's still bold and satisfying.
