No aroma. The leaf is very very small. The wet leaf has a decent smell. It kind of reminds me of the Lipton Raspberry iced tea I used to like before discovering what tea really tastes like without sugar. Yeah, it’s that exactly. Can definitely tell they used flavoring. It’s decent. The taste reminds me of that Lipton blend as well. But there is also an unpleasant note. Something like if you were to lick the air in a hair salon. Don’t go try that for my sake, don’t want anyone getting arrested. It also tastes old. Like maybe it has been sitting for a bit in this bag.
