Try this for your first pot of tea in the morning. It is somewhat quiet, really good for slowly waking up. Leaves are big, carefully rolled, suggest brewing at 205, for 4 minutes, but you could try other brew times and temps. Because it is from the old tea trees on Phoenix Mountain, the brew has a pit-fruit aroma like the Oolongs that come from this area as well as the rich amber color and hearty strength of a black tea

Ingredients: Black tea from Chaozhou, China
