Thanks LP for making this a gift to everyone :)

I thought this was a wonderful tea, I’m getting honey & woody floral perfume. Brews a lovely amber colour, and the taste is quite deep & nicely complex. Quite a range of flavours noted from the various reviews.

Ive never had these flowers in a tea before, and pretty bad at floral spotting in tea anyway, but I liked the added dimension. Seriously thick honey sweetness going on, for fans of bees for sure :)

Literally just dumped the lot it in the cup and on my second steep now. Super sweeeeeet!! theres a hint of something cinnamon or spicy in there, but not in the same way as some dongfang meiren, not as woody either. Nice, nice I like.

I pulled the chunk out first steep in case it was too strong, left it in this time. Really dark liquor. I also like how even with this much leaf in the cup, the aroma is so strong and dreamy, while the taste hasnt got any bad flavours. That is the mark of something I can drink a lot of. Also I drank this during a break from some 2007 repave. That was sending me to sleep, this one has given me a really soft jolt. Not harsh at all – probably that aroma!

Third steep now, still a deep dark amber colour. still a lovely taste. Good stuff! Just went to have to buy one for my ex’s daughter, its her birthday soon and she would love this – and the rub? $18 shipping when the cake is only $12 :’(

Still I bought some :)

Flavors: Floral, Honey, Spicy, Wood

90+ is godly

80-90 is something i would buy again.

60-80 ok, but probably more bland or basic in their flavour.

0-60 something tastes wrong with this one.
