Still has a woody scent with lots of citrus, but it’s faded quite a bit from poor storage and and age. I’ll have to try to make my purchases more seasonal. Steeped 3 minutes in water just short of boiling.

I get variable results with this tea when I steep it a full three minutes. Sometimes it comes out fragrant with a lot of citrus, other times it’s more woody bordering on bitter. I find that adding an extra teaspoon to my pot and reducing the steep time by a half or full minute really lets the floral notes dominate.
