This is a free sample provided for review by Angel and Teavivre. Thank you!
The dry leaves smelled amazing when I opened the package. This is really fresh.
The steeped tea is a very clear and clean medium orange color. It smells like grain, dark honey, and baked fruit, but these aromas are light and clean just like the color of the tea. The natural, fresh sweetness and complete lack of astringency make this a very pleasant tea indeed! The finish is light, sweet fruit and if there is any smoke here, it is very light, as are the cocoa notes. This is a great afternoon cuppa.
I went on the low side with leaf. Next time I try this, I will try it with two teaspoons and a longer steep time and see if that makes it more of a breakfast tea. As an afternoon cuppa, this is excellent. It is an elegant and genteel tea.
Thank you again, Angel and Teavivre!
