Special thanks to Kristin for this one! I was unable to locate this one steepster or art of tea’s website. So I added it!
When I smelled this one I was afraid I would hate it but it’s not that bad thanks to the Lemon Myrtle!!! It’s the saving grace, here!
The Apple helps as well and the Green Rooibos isn’t bad. The Feenel would have been the primary flavor had it not been for those ingredients. Tulsi and Neem blend in and the ginger is swimming around there somewhere.
Steep Information:
Amount: 6 tsp
Water: filtered, boiling ~22oz
Tool: Cast Iron Teapot with Mesh basket strainer in cup
Steep Time: a little over 6 minutes
Served: Hot
Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell: fennel, lemon, spices
Steeped Tea Smell: lemon, fennel, hints of ginger, smoother
Flavor: ginger tang, lemon, sweet
Body: Full
Aftertaste: strong fennel flavor that coats the toungue

I did not like the aftertaste, if it wasn’t so strong and bitter I think I would have liked the tea more.

I think this tea was from their judging panel so it hasn’t been officially released yet.
Yes, that was the tea from the judging panel!
