These leaves are legit, still in good shape and indeed brews a darker full flavor cup and smooth finish. Like a milder buttery oolong.

Brews the most beautiful amber color. Strong aroma but mild flavor. Stings the tongue but soothes the throat. An herbal that works for me?

Roasted flavor a little too strong, almost burnt tasting. I generally like that flavor though, so this isn’t bad. Smooth, no astringency.

Perhaps it’s the lack of freshness, but I really don’t enjoy the bitter flavor coming through from all the lemon/orange peel pieces in this tea. Brewed a very pretty rose red color.
