This tea seemed like a good tea to have around the holidays. I haven’t read Little Women yet (it’s around here somewhere) but it seems like a wintery book to me? At least what I know of the book suggests winter. Anyway, this tea is more summer than winter. It is fruity and fresh. The base is a Chunmee green with additional rose petals, apples and strawberries. I noticed many pieces of fruit in my infuser! I wouldn’t say the flavors stand out with strictly apple or strawberry… it’s more of a general fruit flavor. The rose notes are very light… more in the background. The description mentions an almond flavor and I wish it would have been more noticeable. But I’m very glad for the green base in this one. This is a delicious blend but I think it needs adjustments to make it a fantastic blend.

I’m reading this note ages later … have you had the pleasure of tackling Little Women yet? The opening line is definitely wintery: “Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents…” (And now you’ve got me thinking what belongs in a tea strictly based on the book.)
Sadly, have not read Little Women yet!! I always have a billion books I’m meaning to read. It’s still around on the shelves! I can’t believe this note was from five years ago too…
