And SIPDOWN!
Haha, I had just one sachet of it. It was a sample in package of two boxes I received from Swiss friend Fabiana. Thank you!
Dry leaf aroma was soo great. Orange, grapefruits, maybe some other citrus fruits too. And then! Spices – nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, orange zest, lemon zest.
Used 85 °C hot water, steeping for 4 and half minutes with quick rinse afterwards.
Wonderful clear, golden-copper colour. Shiny.
Wet aroma is full of spices, mainly cloves and cinnamon combined with oranges. Ripe sweet oranges.
And in taste? Yep, oranges again with spicy aftertaste. Hmm, so good. Tea base is nice, not overpowering the fruity taste of this tea. I am not sure if it is not freshly squeezed hot orange juice combined with spices. No tartness, no astringency. It even reminds me maybe some kind of cake?
LOVELY!
Flavors: Orange, Spices

Cameron B. liked this my note and I don’t even know that I have tried it?!
Confusing… I recall having it though reading this note though.
Ha ha, it’s been a while Martin, about 18 months! I had this tea in an advent calendar today and I like to go through and read the first page or two of tasting notes for each tea. :)
I can completely relate! I like some old tasting notes now and then as well… Oh well. I had just 15O tasting notes and now I am having… wait for it… 858. 18 months difference. So many tried teas. So many written notes. I wonder, where I found all the time for it! :D
There is always time for tea! XD
