"Cocoa and piloncillo (raw can sugar) sweetness in both the aroma and flavor. Not a "milk" tea but a wonderfully exotic China black for drinking plain." Luis F. Coll

"Agreed with previous reviewers. Also, I found it to have an interesting flavor profile if oversteeped a couple of minutes, but don't let it cool down too much after that, or will not be pleasant." Stephen Shotwell

"With characteristic cocoa and cola flavors, and no smoke at all, I think this is sure to please. But I don't think the complexity is all that much; it's less than one would enjoy in a good golden monkey or keemun mao feng."
