I was skeptical about loose leaf since I usually just grab a bag, but this one steeps into such a smooth cup with barely any bitterness. The fine Darjeeling and Assam leaves give it a malty backbone that holds up well with a splash of milk.
The Darjeeling and Assam blend is really well balanced, the Assam gives it enough body without turning bitter if I let it steep a minute too long. Been drinking it with milk in the mornings and it holds up nicely.
