So, I made the mistake of reading the other reviews before drinking the tea and I was a little worried…. I’m the lucky person to get the rest of Angrboda ’s sample, and almost expected to see an actual grandmother in the tin once I opened it.
And wow – it definitely smelled like soap when I sniffed the leaf. Woo – SOAP. Soapy-soap-soap. But once brewed, I didn’t get that at all. In fact, I only vaguely got a floral taste. (Mind you, I did sweeten immediately – I didn’t even try unsweetened.)
I’m getting a diluted Earl Grey with a general floral undertone. Not bad, but not great.
Not Grandma, maybe Aunt Doris instead?
You said: and almost expected to see an actual grandmother in the tin once I opened it.

Great note! Not Grandma but Aunt Doris = even worse! lol!
