From Soleil Tea

Handsome mahogany leaves are adorned with whole hops and juniper berries to reclaim the glory of the Industrial Age. The resinous blend imparts a rich dark flavor founded on an ale-liked bitterness. Notes of pine, malt, and currant. Especially handcrafted for the adventure seeker.

Before I dive into the actual steeping experience I just want to give Soleil Tea a big THANK YOU for the excellent customer service. I’ve had Amazon packages missing when I sent things to my apartment before and my sample order from Soleil
