hear me out on this
alright. so. it said that the tea was very floral. and yes. yes it is. the smell of fresh cut gardinia
...
as it says on the package is super powerful. its all i can taste and smell. it wasnt till i added sugar that i could taste actual tea. wich on my side of the world we add sugar and cream to our tea anyway so it wasnt that big of deal. its not exactly a taste ive ever tasted befor so im trying to figure out if i like the flowery notes or not. idk if i could string enough words together to express how i feel about it. ill come back after ive drunk all the tea with an update. i think its nice if you brewing it out in your garden on a gentle spring mid morning with the scent of your flowers blooming.

that isn't heavy, just a full-bodied smooth taste that is rich and very refreshing. It's become my go-to tea for my daily pot at work.
