7 tasting notes

Initially, I hated this tea. I would use it in a travel mug and let it steep through my commute (not the best idea!). But like any good cup of tea, the key is not to over steep and to wait for it to cool a bit. It makes a huge difference. You get a smooth vanilla flavor after a minute or two cooling off. The airy vanilla flavor makes for a good morning breakfast tea in the summers. And I recommend resteeping it at least once after you have your first cup. One review said the steeps are weaker in flavor, but you still get a nice full flavor anyways.

Overall, it is a good tea on nice spring or summer mornings and it is a tea you need to watch the steeping time. I don’t recommend using it in a travel mug cause the leaves can’t expand and breathe as well.

Flavors: Flowers, Vanilla
