Oh, this tea. It is lovely!
Dry: Strong and rich vanilla aroma. If you love vanilla, this one is worth trying for sure. Large dark rolled leaves without adornment. This tea doesn’t need pretty colors in the loose leaf to be beautiful.
Steeped: Light amber clear liquor. The soft floral note peaks through the vanilla in a delightful way. I do not like strong floral fragrances or tastes and this one is just right for my palate. The tightly rolled loose leaves unfurl and show how large they really are. No skimping on small or broken pieces. These leaves need room to expand in your infuser, man!
Taste: Just as described, better than expected! Creamy vanilla meets oolong with a touch of floral on the tongue. This will be a staple in my home. I genuinely love it. Not too sweet or floral, no bitterness or astringency, and the tea comes out beautifully. What more can I ask for?
