I’ve had this tea for SO long now! I think it is one of the teas my brother picked up for me on a long ago trip to France. It keeps getting buried in my tea cupboard and reemerging periodically. It smells of blended spice and fruit. Star anise with cinnamon to round it out and a sprinkle of citrus? There is a slight edge that I’m not sure if it’s due to age or having overleafted it in the excitement of a pending sipdown. It has a fruity finish, but I can’t pin the fruit. It’s not a horrible cup, but I’m not really enjoying it either. :/ Does a sipdown count if you are composting the rest of the tea? It feels sacrilegious to even suggest that with a MF tea!
