I know this is going to sound weird…but the dry aroma of this totally reminded me of a few of my favorite Indian dishes (like Dahl)!!!

Once infused the tea color liquor is a bit on the lighter brown side. The taste is quite amazing, tho!

It tastes like a gentle black tea with a combo of herbs, spices, and a bit of mint – just enough to make it fresh on your breath! It’s crisp and airy.

Many of you know I HATE the term “mouth feel” and I use it VERY sparingly…but I can’t think of what else to call it…it just has an AMAZING Mouth Feel….eeeeek…I even cringe when I type the phrase…sorry! It’s like the other words than make me weird-out…like “Shindig” and “Panties” – I FREAKING HATE THEM.

BUT…the good news is…I LOVE this tea!
