It’s a smooth and lovely tea. It doesn’t call to me in such a way it’s going to be an addiction but I am enjoying this and hope it gives me another couple steeps. I should warn you I am suffering from a head cold so scents and flavors may be muted.

resteep weaker, but not bad, perhaps adding 30 seconds would have done better?
A warm, comforting, fall feeling cup of tea.
