This one smelled a bit bacony in the tin. The leaves are very wiry; I had to pull them apart to measure a teaspoon, and even then, it was more of a guess. Steeped up, it tastes mostly vegetal. A note of chard, I think. There may be just a hint of bacon in the flavor, but I can barely make it out. This is definitely a savory tea, though. Also on the astringent side.

I notice there are several teas out there called “Cloud & Mist” but I haven’t figured out yet what this is referencing. Do they all come from a particular region? This one doesn’t taste anything like the Teavana Cloud & MIst I tried, though they are both good quality.
