I love this tea. I don't usually like cloves but I like cloves in this tea because all the flavors balance well. Really warming.

This might be my new favorite black flavored tea.

I really did not think I would love this tea that much but wow. The flavor is amazing. I love black tea and this particular tea has so many delicious flavors going on. I forget that I am drinking a black tea. It is def hard to go back to boring black tea.
