4 Tasting Notes
Definitely get the cocoa from the aroma, both before steeping and after. The smell isn’t over the top, very subtle. Fairly plain taste to me though, perhaps I didn’t use enough leaves to steep with. I’ll have to try it a little different the next go around.

The aroma definitely stays true to its name. Spices of all sorts come to mind, almost like a good potpourri.
Taste on this steeping is a little lacking. Perhaps I should have steeped it longer than just 3 minutes. Also, mixing it with some rock sugar and some soy milk would have really done wonders for this.
