A most tasty and satisfying tea! I admit, I bought it for the name (I collect Sherlockian teas), but now I drink it for pleasure and will certainly order more. This is really well balanced, with a surprising depth. Even brewed strong it doesn’t get bitter, and stands up well to milk. The flavour profile is complex and pleasing–no standout notes but, instead, smooth and refreshing from first to last. After trying dozens of “novel-teas,” it’s lovely to finally have a go-to Sherlockian tea. (And FWIW it also works day-old and iced.)
