Kings Tea

This one is another free sample from The Jade Teapot. This cup smells like a honeyed version of Adagio’s TKY. It is very green, sweet and floral. The taste is very similar to the smell – sweet, floral, green and a bit honeyed – but it has an added heavier, more substantial note hiding under all the sweetness. I’m assuming this is the ginseng addition but that’s just a guess since I don’t actually know what ginseng tastes like. This tastes a bit like a raw, fibrous vegetable or root (in a pleasant way). But it is just a hint so it might actually be an under note in the tea. Regardless, the tea has a nice full flavor that made my cup disappear quickly.
