Not a fan. Super medicinal, and the fruit flavoring+smoke combo does not work.

Originally made this plain/unsweetened and it really needed some creaminess or a touch of sweetness. Ended up adding some honey and frothed oat milk….but it was too much oat milk and drowned out the flavor. So, complete user error in making this tea.

Finished off a jar. Steeped directly in oat milk warmed over the stove. So tasty, and really made me excited for October to start.

I’ve had this for quite awhile and I’m just now getting around to opening it. Its rose rose rose. Not getting any oolong, not really getting any flavor outside of the one note rose. Not a favorite.

Tasty- caramel, apple. Nice for fall and something I would consider repurchasing.

Meh. This was fine. Inoffensive, but forgettable.

I can definitely smell the cypress oil, but I can’t taste any trace of it. Bummer. Otherwise this is a pretty mild tasting, inoffensive sheng.

Another unfortunate victim of age. This has also lost a lot of its flavor, but a touch of cinnamon and clove still remains. A good reminder to enjoy tea fresh and not try to hoard it.

Sadly I think I let this get a bit too old and it lost most of its flavor. Hopefully it returns some day!

Subsequent cups have been less exciting than the first. Much more hay and less honey.
