I’ve been quite intrigued by this blend- gunpowder green tea, osmanthus flower, violet flower, and corn silk. I love violet, and the additional floral component of the osmanthus seemed like interesting additions to the roasted/smoky flavor I’m used to in a gunpowder green. Plus, corn silk? I’m not quite sure how these ingredients are related to an Imperial Soldier, or Star Wars at all really.

There is a mild smokiness, but the cup is mostly just hay. Definitely no violet (I’m realizing now that the violet flowers are likely just decorative). There’s a touch of osmanthus, but I have to really look for it.

I became obsessed with the world of tea through DavidsTea years ago. I love to try new brands, so I’m constantly on the look out for new-to-me companies.
