Oh, you wicked shining thing. That tongue has a bright spice to it, but who can resist your gleam? Golden velvet tips on the finest high-mountain Nepali black tea. Floral notes pulled forth and highlighted by citric raspberry and smoothed by vanilla. Honey in the throat and silk on the lips, all belying a burning deadly chili heat. Don't forget to dress in your finest jewels for a sparkly impression!

This tea is gorgeous in the cup, a dark golden red shimmering with gold sparkles. It's so sweet and smooth in the tongue. It burns the throat. Every cup in the ounce I bought was somehow a surprise. Every time I thought, "It *can't* be as spicy as I remember?" And every time it was shockingly hot. Luckily, this tea tastes just as good once it's cooled down to room temperature, which is usually how I drank most of every cup, after the first few sips. Desperately waiting for next September when I can torment myself with another ounce!
