great on it’s own Review by Peter. Canada
Now this is orange pekoe. This tea is very much darker and stronger, with nice toasty and chocolatey accents. The taste is also much darker and stronger, more earthy, yet still sweet. It has a nice pine after-taste that thankfully lingers long after the sip. This is a reminder of how handsome a well rounded strong tea can be. I imagine this tea would be great with some honey, but is, of course, great on it’s own.

broad spectrum of flavours Review by Lance, Sydney, Australia
Both the Lopchu teas are indeed a great drink - broad spectrum of flavours, good palate weight with no overt intrusion of tannin. The strength of flavour means that relatively little tea is required to make a very satisfying cup of tea, to our taste.
