The tea has a smooth, well-balanced flavor and a decent amount of caffeine.
The taste of roasted chestnuts is most apparent, while grass, wildflowers, and tupelo honey swirl around the palette under a base of grassy vegetation. Lavender and lemon notes develop later on.
In my opinion, this tea doesn’t need any sweetener added.
Flavor notes: Grass, roasted chestnuts, wildflowers, tree sap, tupelo honey, lavender, and lemon.
You don’t always have to spend a lot of money for a good green tea, and this is a prime example of that.
