A very strong aroma with a slightly underwhelming flavour. Let me first of all say that this is a good tea. Definitely if you look at the price point. Further more I would recommend that people pick it up if at the end of there purchases they still have a couple of $ to spare. This being said I find this tea a bit underwhelming. The first time you smell the wet leaves your greeted by the intens aroma of roasted malt, wood and hazelnut. It's therefore sad that when you then drink it its very soft and all those heavy note's are muted down to a mere shadow of it's aroma. Now the notes that are there are very pleasant and spot on. It's just not something I would expect from a first, second or third brew. It's more in line with what I would expect from a 5th to 7th brew in regards to intensity. So get this one when you have some money to spend. If not I would personally go for something different. Still the price point of this tea is insanely good so maybe do get it. Just don't expect miracles from the tea.

A massive amount of tea for a very low price. Since other reviewers noted a mild taste I started out with much more leaf and higher temperature than recommended. Still not overpowering but brought out the roasted taste quite well. I really don't think it can be over-brewed so I suggest experimenting.

You really do get a lot of tea for the price. Good if you want a rustic, low caffeine tea. The flavor won't blow you away but it is still nice.

With the name suggesting the countryside, I was expecting a more robust and roasted flavour from this tea. It is actually very light and refreshing. This tea has a lovely honey aroma.

It's good in the short recommended brew time or even a three minute one. There is a flavor of roasted pumpkin seeds, but not overpowering. A small hint of saltiness. Kind of reminds you of a pile of autumn leaves. A little bit of chalkiness. Think about a rainy day where you can smell previously dry, fallen vegetation rising up in the water vapor. Practically, the price makes this something there's no reason not to try. Also practically, the caffeine content is low so you can drink it instead of water. This tea gives you a warmer feeling than green tea does. It seems the perfect choice for when it's cool outside. I did not expect to like it as much as I did. It even seems to satisfy hunger to a degree.

Pleasant tea with surprising intensity, with a light touch of stone fruit aromas. it can take quite a bit of beating, but obviously not a long distance runner. A great tea for evening sessions thanks to the low caffeine content. Very good value for money.

Short steeping gives you a toasted caramel-like flavour, while long develop more earthy tones. Quantity is a bit too much! Good price for this quality.
