Trying this from the ATTB. The lime smells old. It isn’t a fresh bright scent, but more like a salted and preserved orange peel smell. The kind you find in Asian grocery stores. The smell lightens once steeped and is joined by an earthy smell reminiscent of a pet store. Things aren’t looking good for this tea! Sipping… okay, it isn’t as horrible as I feared, but it isn’t really good either. The flavors don’t seem balanced. It is like there are lots of high notes and lots of base notes, but nothing in the middle to tie them together and make them flow nicely. It is just kind of meh.
