This tea is very different from what I usually drink, but I enjoyed it immensely. It has a very unusual flavor which is strong but not overpowering and definitely delicious. The smell of the tea alone is very calming. In a way, it reminds me of the smell of books, and honestly it might be worth buying the tea just for the aroma.

I find it really interesting how you describe this as reminding you of books...I didn't initially think of that analogy but now that you mention it, I can see how it is true. For me, I think the connection to books is more that I tend to feel relaxed when reading books, and I tend to find this tea relaxing in a similar way--not making me at all sleepy or tired.

It has a really naturally good smell which reminds me of the smell of old books in particular. I think I made the connection because I find the smell of the tea very comforting. It doesn't smell like books, but it gives me the same overall impression and feelings of picking up a nice, old book.
