Very pleasant, very delicate, like old lavender sachets. Couldn’t really catch any of the white tea taste. Very few buds in any case, so not one of the best whites.

It smells like blackraspberries, but it doesn’t taste like them. Maybe too much hibiscus, but it’s too soapy, perfumey, whatever for me

It took me days to try this, the overwhelmingsweet scent of the dry tea was very off-putting. When brewed it tasted medicinal witha bit of sweet edge. Not for me

Just a thought: you might like it better if you didn’t steep it so long. It tends to get bitter after a while.

This tea smells very strongly of Lapsang Souchong, but doesn’t deliver it in the taste, which surprisingly had a bit of licorice to it. As it cools, there’s more smoke, but it’s not a particularly good tea

Boiling 3 min, 45 sec

The first Iron Goddess of Mercy I have liked and it’s lovely, mouth fillingly sweet and floral, but not at all cloying. It has a touch of vegetal to keep it grounded. Warms you for a while, right down to your tum.

I am really undecided about this tea, I disliked it brewed for 5 min and at 3 I wasn’t sure. Will have to have some more. Loved the smell
