The aroma is spectacular. It is very rich, blending heady orchids and honeysuckle nectar with roasted chestnut and a hint of spinach. At the finish there is a slight sweet bread quality, specifically fresh yeasty bread drizzled with honey.
The Teavivre website recommends eight steeps for this tea, and I got eight steeps out of it. It goes from a delicate floral and vegetal taste to a heady floral and sweet, to a finish of gentle sweetness. It was certainly an amazing journey of the senses.
