I got this as part of the October tea club (with “Fruit Bomb”, “Strawberry”, and “Traditional” lapsangs. It’s what it says on the tin: lots of medicinal herbs and spices over a fruity, malty black tea. The leaves are beautiful, uniform in size and fairly small. It stands up to several steepings.

Someone compared an earlier year of this tea production to “elevated Lipton” and that’s a great description. The gongfu session didn’t have the complexity of some other stuff I’ve had, but it did provide several steeps of pleasant if unremarkable tea. Very sweet overall, a lot of sugary maltiness. I intend to buy a cake of this, for stressful days where I need some tea but don’t have time to sit around appreciating it.
