Not a bad tea. Not bitter at all. The strongest aroma and flavor by far is the honey, which is strong but doesn't come off as fake. I think I catch a hint of the ginseng, but it's hard to detect. The green tea provides more body than flavor.
Since the tea is in fannings (as are all the Republic of Tea bags), it defuses very quickly. However, it holds up to a second steeping better than others by this brand. I got an equally good cup the second time. Still, a short steep time is all that is needed.
If you normally add honey to tea, this one already has you covered. In fact, if the idea of honey tea sounds good to you, this may be your cup. I like honey but this one is almost too much for me.
