So here's the thing. This tea causes me to be disobedient because I should not drink it late in the day because of the caffeine. But it tastes so delicious, that I do anyway. Bad, bad Hazel!
I enjoy the smokiness of it. It is a very full-bodied tea...guess 'cause it's black. So, I really did not have to use a full tablespoon for the brewing. This is good because it will last a bit longer.
The cardamom did not overpower the tea. I like cardamom so I thought that I would taste more of it. Even though I did not, I still enjoyed the hint of it.
I am glad that I tried it and once I get to some others that I have not had, I will order it again.
