A choice of tea over the standard Chamomile or Lavender, kick it up a bit with some herbs, some good fruits to give of notes and what did I got? A fruity-herbal aromatic, light tasting of a fruit cocktail with assertive but moderating touch of ginger on the first sip. The second time around I actually slurped the tea to make out the missing herbal components, its quite a tangled mess of flavors that tends to be mute on the first and second intake. I decided to give it some time to cool down and what do you know? The herbal component shown itself and I quite pleased of it but it needs to be a little assertive with the herbs. A choice drink over the standard chamomile and Lavender, its quite a tea I should say!

slurping is a good thing when you want to really go all the way into the tea inkwell!
Agreed, though an “un-cooperative” tea may need some “exploration” to really find its profile. I was really looking for the herbal-ness to shine out a bit more than stay back. The only tastes that was assertive was ginger( not surprisingly), it just needs to assert a little more but not all the way where it starts conflicting sorta like hibiscus tea. Its still quite a drink in my opinion.
