Review of Elder Grove

Method: 1.5 tsp, 208 degrees, 8 oz, 5 min, French Press
Dry Aroma: The elderberries are center stage. I don't even smell any cinnamon, which surprised me.
Brewing Aroma: Now there's the cinnamon, but the elderberries are gone
Flavor: Cinnamon is the most obvious flavor. I don't taste the elderberries outright, but the tea has a light fruity flavor and a sweetness that I suspect could be from the berries. I didn't add anything to this one, and it was still quite sweet. I just wish I had realized it was not caffeinated when I picked it this AM. :)
