I smelled peppermint patty when I opened the sampler pac! The aroma of the tea is not as pronounced but I sense separate aromas of vanilla and mint. The tea is sweet, slightly minty, almost syrupy, with a kick of gunpowder at the finish. The gunpowder ashiness tends to increase a bit as the tea cools. 2nd infusion—mintiness has faded somewhat but still a hint of vanilla. I’d like to try this iced—
