Black Savant Sampler

"This set is another great introduction to black tea. The selection was a little less generally pleasing than the regular black sampler. I mean that in that the sampler was very good, and mostly teas that would appeal to everyone. This set seemed to include more teas that may or may not be one's... cup of tea. As a black tea fan, though, I recommend it!"

"This a great way to figure out what tea you like! I had no idea there was such a variety!"

"The golden spring, keemun rhapsody and yunnan gold were ok and different in their own ways, a good variety. However, the pu erh dante has such an intense fish flavor and smell that I could not drink it. Is this the "earthy" flavor it mentions in the description? Because it smells like flake fish food I used to feed to my aquarium fish..not good. "

"This sampler is a great way to try 4 different teas. Golden Spring, Keemun Rhapsody and Yunnan Gold are excellent, I would definitely order them all. However, Pu Erh Dante is awful - has a fishy smell and aftertaste - I can't even make it through my first cup, headed for the trash! The love it or hate it comment I read earlier is very true and this one I hate, certainly not my taste!"

"an excellent idea to have a slightly more specialized sampler for us lovers of black tea (needers of caffeine). I didn't enjoy the earl grey bravo as much as I thought I would based on other reviews - something too fruity for earl grey is happening there for me. Love the irish breakfast!"

"I'm glad I've branched out from Earl Grey and English Breakfast, even if I didn't always enjoy the experience. Of this sampler, I was satisfied with the Yunan Gold, which is just a good, quality black tea. The Keenun Rhapsody fared better, although I'm not sure I'd buy it on it's own. The Pu Erh Dante was a big loser in my household. My husband says it was "okay," but I couldn't get past the fact that it smelled like wet dog. Scent is a very important part of tea ritual for me. However, it is all made up for in the wonderful Golden Spring, which I think will be my new favorite black tea. Tell the Earl I'll miss him."
