It's nice and nose-tickling and it's what we use for our dark & stormy. The shop also has an interesting selection of coffees, teas, chocolate bars, spice blends, and British sundries.

They add a touch of pomegranate juice and squeeze of lemon (I know that's heresy) and it's delicious. Give it a try.
