This is one of the first Nina’s teas I ever tried and it still holds up. The dry leaf smells absolutely amazing – like juicy berries in a dessert. Slightly sweet, slightly tart. I really don’t think you can smell it and not brew it right then and there. Fair warning!

Mom of two practically grown girls, extremely happily married to a man who is amused by my obsession with tea, and company owner who works from home. Life is good.
Likes/dislikes: I love black teas, especially strong/malty ones. I am ok with flavored teas if the base is strong. I like some whites. I really don’t like any tea that tastes “green” – if I wanted to drink something that tastes like green beans, I would cook some green beans. I am not big on green teas or genmaichas. I am learning to like puerhs.
If we are trading, I have a STRONG aversion to coconut, banana and licorice. I love citrus, vanilla and spice. Not a fan of florals.

Kentucky, drowning in tea.
I had to restrain myself from placing an order immediately after reading your blog post! Everything I’ve tried from Nina’s is pure magic. :)
I have most of their blacks by now (and two more on the way) if you want some samples before you order!
