I definitely get that hint of wine in the description! And I got it BEFORE I read the description, so I am pretty happy about that!
I also smelled some honey aromas, but they didn't come through in the flavor. I also smelled something like vanilla. I thought this was an interesting tea, but it had a bitter finish that I didn't like quite so much.
I brewed this western style for my AM tea, but there's still some in the tin, so I may try it with some shorter steeps at slightly lower temps, just for the heck of it. Why not?
Thanks to Alex for sharing!
