The dry leaves smell amazing…kind of peachy? When steeping, I smelled brussels sprouts…kinda confused now lol. When sipping there is a rich and mellow savory base, almost like butter but not really as there’s a slight vegetal element to it. When the sip fades, there’s a tiny bit of peach flavor that pops up to wave goodbye. I like this tea a lot! I think rich is the best word to describe. I’m totally enjoying trying this out. Thanks Virginia!

Tea-obsessed, book worm scientist.

I love black tea, especially Chinese black tea- I’m looking at you Fujians and Yunnans! I also enjoy Indian teas, mostly first flush darjeelings (and a select few assams).
I think I’m recently starting to like oolongs better though- gasp! I’ve been cheating on my black teas with all these lovely, alluring green floral oolongs. Sorry I’m not sorry.
White tea gets a lot of love too! I am particularly fond of silver needle whites.
I can’t seem to appreciate green teas and rooibos is foul, IMO.

Other interests: Books! Board games! Nerdy entertainment like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, all the nature documentaries, etc etc. Also Disney!

I’m up for swaps!
