This tea is very fragrant. If somebody was sitting next to you while you were brewing this tea then they would likely smell it.
It’s worth noting that despite appearing to be of reasonable quality, the tea has quite a few stems in it.
Flavor-wise, this is pretty light. but very floral in an almost powdery sort of way.
Notes of wildflowers, vegetation, clover honey, and something similar to perfume.
