The dry tea smells lightly roasty and floral. While brewing, I can pick up some fruity aromas, like grape.
The flavor of the brewed tea is smooth and roasty. It has a subtle spinach flavor. I don't really taste any of the floral or fruity notes from the aroma, but that's ok, because I still really like this one!
I brewed this for 2 minutes using 208 degree water, but I wonder if I might like it more if it was steeped a little longer. I have enough for one more cup, so I think I'll try it to see.
Thanks to Alex for the sample!
