My advice to you is, if you have a sample of this that you haven’t tried, make it right now! If you don’t have a sample, order it.

I made mine western style due to time constraints this morning, but the website recommends many short infusions.

So I was standing at the stove cooking breakfast, and I took the first sip of this tea. My, “WOW” made my husband come running from the next room. It was pretty funny. I had to tell him that it was just a great tea wow, not a something is wrong wow.

An initial sniff of the dry leaf gave me a hint as to what was coming. It smelled like MORE somehow. Some honey, maybe honeysuckle. Some stone fruit. Not just a tea smell. I must admit that I carried the packet around for a few minutes and kept sniffing it while my water was heating up.

This has to be another leafhopper tea, I don’t know how else there would be such an amazing honey flavor to it. I kept trying to pin down what I was tasting, and initially I thought honey, honeysuckle, maybe some peach? Then I started thinking about the next cup before I had finished this one. It’s just that good.

The second (3 minute) steep was still sweet and really good. Usually I only steep black teas twice, but the leaves hadn’t fully unfurled so I might try this a third time just to see what happens.
