Bought this on impulse today purely because… well, Melissa plant? It’s got my name on it! (spelt differently but! still!)
Melissa or melisse is a lemon balm herb, I think, so named because it attracts honeybees (melissa in Greek) so. . . it’s a herbal tea, that’s about it.
Didn’t brew it for as long as I should have done but then I have this terrible habit of judging a brew by its colour. I tend to freak out if my peppermint tea starts getting brown in colour so I popped the teabag out after maybe three minutes…
It tastes a little… well, herb-y? But also earthy in a way that reminds me of pu-erh. Earthy, with a mellow, warm tea-y taste, and a little bit of citrus. I think it must smell more lemony than it tastes.
Interesting to try my namesake, nonetheless!
It´s a very popular, maybe the one standard, herbal tea in my country. I am bit surprised you found it earthy or pu-erhish, it might not have been too fresh maybe!
