I think I’ll try a shorter steep next time as this came out a bit more bitter than I typically like. Once I got past the bitter, I found a deeper, very bold flavor. This is not a subtle tea.

1. This tea smells fantastic. 2. It also tastes fantastic. It’s a lovely and fruity mix that combines a really bright Sencha green tea with berries. There’s also a caramel note on the front end, though I’m not sure where it’s coming from. On the whole, it’s a tasty blend.

It has a woodsy smell to the leaves, but it brews like chocolate. Very nice.

Fresh, grassy, and somewhat sweet. This is a very bright green tea that feels crisp on the aftertaste.

Had the pleasure of trying this tea in Gong Fu Tea in Des Moines. It’s a very bold tea, which a complex flavor that shifts as it cools. Chestnuts and maples with some rounded astringency at the end. I found it lovely.

So, this was a free sample. I’ll admit that I started out prepared not to like this too much. Though I am a Leo, I have always been laughably mismatched with my Zodiac sign (I’ve been told this is because I was born “on a cusp”, but my eyes glaze over at that point). Regardless, most things Leo-themed are not for me.

But this was actually good! Nice gentle blend of oolong and rooibos. And while I usually don’t like tea with citrus (I know, the deck was stacked against this one for me), the way the orange hits at the end is fun and pleasant. It’s just a very bright tea that’s good for a snowy day. Not sure if I’d buy more of it, but I’m happy to have a small sample.

Oh, this is a treat. I added some almond milk and brown sugar, and then I had a nice, full chocolate-y chai cup of tea. It reminds me of gingerbread cookies
