Formosa…Beautiful
This Tea…Not So Beautiful.
I’m not saying I don’t like this tea…I do…it’s ok…but I wouldn’t call it beautiful…it’s very grassy and there are times I am into grassy greens and there are times I am in the mood for something else. I guess I just wasn’t ready for the level of GRASS this one set off. It’s not my favorite auraTea but I’ll add it to my ‘middle of the road’ pile :)
