Here’s a confounding tea. The smell of it in bag and just brewed is just utterly confusing. Warm, sweet-smelling, woodsy, perfume, even some near medicinal notes. There are barely recognizable elements that intrigue the nose, make you curious to try it, but with a hunch you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Yet drinking it, slightly sweetened, it is thoroughly enjoyable even though I have no more of a clue as to what I am drinking. As if all the ingredients have merged to provide me with the distinctive cup. The tasting notes sited above seem contradictory and yet are all perfectly on point after tasting this tea. A delicious quandary of a cup!

Preparation
1 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Bio

Writer and visual artist. Major espresso guy but have moved back to tea after many years “away.” I enjoy both black teas and herbals.
I live in Washington DC with my husband of 8 years (tho been together 20) and our beloved old dog. Originally from Texas and have lived in the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and Illinois before arriving in the Mid-Atlantic. Having been the beneficiary of the reviews and insights of other Steepsters, I figured I’d put down my own impressions on teas. Also love adding new teas as a way of thanking teamakers for putting their wares out into the world.
