"This is a great find. I ordered it essentially by happenstance. I noticed it was from Mozambique, and I've been a fan of the lusophone world since I studied Portuguese in college. As another reviewer commented, it's better than many more expensive teas. I hope Upton Tea continues to be able to get it, or any similar Mozambican teas that might become available." Mack Perry

"I buy this as a gift for a friend who adores it. I find it a little harsh. It brews very quickly -- nice when you really need a cuppa." Ann Marie

"This really is a bargain. Ordered again since it appears to be running out. If this is typical of "terroir", I would try any Mozambican tea Upton has." Barry Lawson

"Very dark liquor with a nutmeg nuance (not sure about vanilla or rose) and some of the minerality characteristic of the wonderful African soil. However, not a substitute for the powerful Kenyan CTC's that are now conspicuously absent." Jeffrey Miller

"Mild, undistinctive flavor; improved with soy milk and sugar. Wondered if I was missing something based on the description and earlier reviews."
