This smells like straight black tea in the bag. Really good black tea, admittedly, but I don’t notice much else. While it’s brewing, though, wow! So citrusy and sweet. It almost reminds me of honeysuckle mixed with oranges.

This brews up a gorgeous orange-gold color and tastes just as gorgeous. The citrus note is strong in the flavor, but there’s still a floral edge to it reminiscent of jasmine. It’s juicy and sweet and smooth, I can’t get enough of it. It’s also lighter than most black teas, which means it feels really refreshing. I will absolutely have to buy some of this.

Bio

Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!

I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
