I like this unique blend. I love the strong taste, I use a bit more than a tsp and steep a little bit longer than 3 min because I like the taste so much! The smell is great too, definitely reminiscent of tea from a Chinese restaurant.
Nice flavor and body---much better than served in Chinese Restaurants that I visit. Will buy this again, as it is a nice tea to serve unexpected guests. A nice pleasant tea for anytime of day or evening.
Before trying this tea, my knowledge of China Restaurant tea came from good, medium-priced Chinese Restaurants (good meaning Id like to go back). And from what I sometimes chose from middle-priced teas in Chinese grocery stores (often, I confess, because I liked the tin container). This offering from Simpson and Vail is clearly superior to any of those. Superior in the ways that even modestly priced S&V teas clearly excel grocery-store teas. Maybe in time Ill come to enjoy China teas as much as favor teas from Ceylon or India. But I will enjoy having this tea again, to accompany home-made and carry-out Chinese food.
I always keep this one in my pantry. Although it reminds me of teas served with an Asian dinner, I drink it all times of day. The price is right and the flavors too.
