What a great tea. I’m lucky to live only a few miles away from The Spice Merchant. I got 1oz of Red Robe.. Bag smell is of clean tea, loved it long good looking dried leaf. I use water right off boil on this one gave it a Three and a half min. The liquor is a great brown red and the cup smell is like a liquid fall sent. the crisp clean tea flavor is good and refreshing. good end notes and just a slight after taste of good tea. i may try this iced soon. a really awesome tea
