smell is very good and is exactly what you would expect from the flavor it is suppose to be. Flavor goes in a different direction though...tastes a bit like black licorice to me. Slight spicyness on the end...good, but would be better if it tasted as it smells.

Smells like peaches and cream oatmeal!! mmm! Best smelling tea ever! Unfortunately all that richness and flavor in the smell turns into a slightly bitter black tea that actually has only mild fruit flavor. The black tea itself is bold though.

Jul. 6th, 2014
very good smell and taste....the strength is just about right too...steeped 4 minutes but didn't boil as directed. Perhaps a bit longer steep next time. The amount of flavoring seems spot on....not overpoweringly artificial or an underpowered hint.
