Gene's Tasting Notes (about?):A lighter, more subtle and complex black tea that is tasty with or without milk. This monks blend does not appear to have a strong grenadine flavoring for which this tea is known. Instead, black tea fruit and flower aromas greet the nose, but there is something more there. Earthy, herby notes make this interesting, and it almost tastes Chinese. Somewhat lighter than Ceylon and more drinkable without milk, sugar or lemon. This is very tasty for the price, and another enjoyable but informal afternoon tea.
