No wonder is this an award winning tea.The bouquet is mysteriously captivating,a cross between earth and sky, the colorhue that changes from an autumn preripe persimmon yellow to a coppery red/brown maple leaf hue.Taste is slightly earthy without the dust or twinge of anything dry or alum.You cant seem to overbrew this tea with negative results.Each brew takes you farther within the mystery, a warming walk secure and complex, anxiously awaiting each new vista.
