The earthy depth hits first, then that baked apricot sweetness lingers on the finish—smooth enough to sip plain, which is rare for a black tea this rich. I’ve been brewing it every afternoon and the second steep still holds a honeyed warmth that’s genuinely comforting.

The caramel and honey notes really come through on the first sip, with a nice earthy finish that lingers. I brewed it for about three minutes and the apricot sweetness balanced the black pepper kick perfectly. This is my new go-to afternoon tea.
