I’ve had several cups of this tea (hot) and I am still not sure how I feel about it. The smell is so very different from the taste. The smell is a sweet floral earthy smell but the taste is very bitter. I need to experiment with this maybe try adding milk or making it cold or something. I am not sure. This is one tea that expands a great deal while steeping. It actually quite grosses me out to open the strainer afterwards. Update – Just figured out that if I cut way back and steep this only about a minute it is much better. The good flavors are still present but the bitter is much much reduced.
