This is, uncommon green tea blend. It rather looks like black one, it is really dark and… when brewing it releases also rather copper-brown colour instead of green. Well… it is supposed to be green tea, so I will believe it is a green tea blend.

It smells heavily after cloves with roses in the pouch and my mom said it smells very appealing for her and nodded that I should brew it for the family — 2 tablespoons for 2500 ml tea pot.

Sadly, it isn’t that good when brewed, not so complex aroma nor the taste. It is certainly clove forward and the base is hay-like (yay green tea note!), but I have been expecting more ginger in it. A little orange appears there too with the cinnamon.

Mistletoe is an interesting ingredient here, but as I have no idea how it should taste like, I am not sure if I notice it at all. Shame that it does not have that warming, spicy ginger.
