Third tea from Lochan tasted, I wouldn't say I don't like it, but I also don't love it. Caramel or raisins taste. I think it would be better for western style brewing.

The second tea I’m tasting for this month. A really nice, mellow black tea with a bit of that Indian character. Approachable for a Chinese tea drinker.
