I know no Italian to recognize what the name means; but outer wrapper design is very nice, showing white calla lily on the left side and orange lilium on the right side, both on dark purple (Bordeaux) coloured background. It is not looking festive, but very nice nevertheless.

The sachet in was a little bigger than yesterday I suppose? There was nice amount of black tea, two, pretty big, pieces of orange peel and rose petals. Smmells quite floral with citrusy notes.

After a session I found out they used Chinese and Indian black tea and the base was very tasty indeed; with orange notes of peel as well as the notes of the floral elements, especially when cooled. While I generally enjoy more robust teas, I think it would clash with the rose? And I just keep wondering, if there is other floral aromas that I just could not detect?

I’m going to guess Garden over the Wall? Ha ha, but I don’t know Italian either. I have started learning some though, as I’m going to Napoli for Christmas!

Description on the backside of the outer wrapping: “Blend of black tea with notes of bergamot and red fruits, inspired by the secred garden of Helmsley Castle in the heart of Yorkshire, the original setting of the Secred Garden novel.”

I feel uneducated. Helmsley Castle? Never heard of it. Secret Garden — maybe I heard it, but haven’t read it.
And bergamot and red fruits? Where they are in tea?
