Received as a sample in a Mandala order several months ago. It’s definitely…unique. I’m having trouble coming up with the right words. There’s a honey-like taste to it and a syrupy sweetness. A grape or muscatel flavor, as well. It tastes more like a roasted, well-oxidized oolong to me than a black tea. There are fruit notes that are difficult for me to describe…they’re similar to peach or apricot, but not quite the same. It calls to mind crunchy, sweet green fruits and vegetables. Pear? Is that it? I can’t tell. Celery? No, not quite. It’s slightly vegetal and floral. There’s an aftertaste like honey-drizzled, buttery bread. Light and spongey and sweet. It’s smooth and roasty too. I like it more than I expected to. I wish I could better explain its indescribable taste!
Flavors: Apricot, Bread, Floral, Fruity, Honey, Muscatel, Roasted, Sweet, Vegetal

Fascinating tea note :)
I probably need this
Interesting note for an interesting tea. I’ll send you the rest of my sample MzPriss!
There is some in the Butiki teabox so I was reading about this one today. Supposedly the Gaba reduces anxiety.
@kimquat – woo! thanks. I’ll message you
@kimquat – I was just doing (another) Mandala order and I went ahead and got a little of this so go ahead and enjoy the rest of it. Thank you so much for the offer :)
It’s no problem at all! Hope you enjoy it.
