Natalie R. ★★★★★

The first steep is pure caramel sweetness, then that earthy cocoa note kicks in on the finish—smooth enough to drink black all day. I’ve been reaching for this every afternoon since the pouch arrived, and the honeyed apricot lingers just right without any bitterness.

Samuel ★★★★★

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.

Ruby K. ★★★★★

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.
