    Absolutely delicious

    It really is like a bonfire in a cup, but there's an almost creamy/caramelly note that comes through too - I wasn't sure what I'd think to this one but it's brilliant!

    Delicious blend

    The flavour of this blend is quite strong and earthy, which I love, although for my taste there is just a whisker too much smokiness from the Lapsang Souchong coming through, so overall it tastes quite similar to standalone Lapsang Souchong tea. Still, it's really delicious, so will definitely have this again.
