A sample from Teavivre! The leaves are lovely – long and half golden. The resulting tea with just a teaspoon and a half of leaves is certainly deep and complex enough for me. It’s dark and rich, but it’s also sweet. Hints of tomato soup, but really this reminds me of Ruby 18 but deeper but also another specific tea…. had my mind on it but it slipped. Notes of black pepper like to linger. It’s a good one! Not describing it well enough! Exceeded my expectations. I think Teavivre’s teas in recent years have had lighter flavored harvests, but this is darker than I thought it would be. Love that.
