Wow! That even looks awesome. It looks like it produces something dark and full bodied (I know you describe it as medium-bodied) and I would love to try a tea with a hint of chocolate flavor or aroma!

@Melody - For the body unless it is as full of a mouth feel as coffee it gets medium from me.
But yes it isn't the normal watery body of many bagged teas.
Watch your mailbox, I am all over hooking you on some yummy tea! (We owe you for all the delicious beans!)
