Unfortunately I didn't really like this tea: to me the aroma and flavour really reminds me of tobacco and this taste cover the underlining echos of the characteristic nut and chocolate flavours that I've tasted from other tgy.

This is what I was looking for in a roasted TGY in terms of aroma and mouthfeel. I want to drink it a bit more, especially after the recommended 6 months, to develop my view more, but based on two tastings so far I would say it is good but lacking in 'special sauce'. Also, I don't believe I got 10 steeps out of it last time, but I will try again. I would recommend ordering a smaller quantity before ordering a larger amount.
