Sipdown. It took me a long time to get through this tin. I liked the flavor a lot at first, but it didn’t wear well and soon it got demoted to the shelf of so-so teas. If it was oversteeped at all it got bitter and too flowery, but even when made correctly the flowery-ness was a bit much. This probably sounds like a dumb complaint about a tea called “Chinese Flower” — it’s not like H&S was being sneaky about the ingredients here — but when I got a sample of the tea, the predominant flavors were actually lemon and orange, with just a hint of floweriness. Either the balance of flavors in the tin was actually different, or my tastebuds just picked up on different things after I’d had several cups.
