Delicious tea! So relaxing and vanilla with hint of mint.

This smells so delicious! A light sweet strawberry flavor and scent. It wasn’t tart at all, and the display was beautiful. The only thing is that it fell apart a little in the water. I put water in first then the tea.

This was the party favor I chose for my best friend’s bridal shower. It was too bad my shipment online didn’t arrive yet, even though I ordered it from China in October… This one is too expensive… cheaper to get it direct from China. Oh well! I can’t wait til that shipment comes in anyway… plus I’m getting another order free since that one didn’t come in.

Received this in the mail. For some reason its not hitting me the right way. I can’t describe it. Its alright.

I was guessing the weight of each small Kusmi tin I have, and chose the one which weighed the most IMO.

Green Zoubrovka it is! I got so excited smelling it after I steeped it. Kusmi Kusmi Kusmi!!! It is insanely smooth and not bitter at all. (again too excited or just too much caffeine in me). I was tasting slightly buttery, sweet, green, and minty/nutty notes (classic Kusmi I presume). Ok off to enjoy another mug!

Backlog. I drank this once this week, but when I went for the tin today, it was empty. I’m guessing he really loved this one!

I had 2 steeps of this. It smelled so good I couldn’t stop smelling the package even after I’ve emptied the leaves into my gaiwan. It reminds me some cute tea shops that I used to frequent when I lived in NY. I love the dark green leaves all rolled up into a ball. There are some stems in there. The scent is a little musty, sweet, floral, and green.

I had 3 steeps. The steep is a nice yellow color. It tastes and smells buttery and green. There is a hint of floral and sweetness to it but it is very slight. Something lingers in the back of my tongue and its a bit fishy. Sometimes I get that similar taste with some senchas I’ve had. I imagine this would be good with seafood.

I didn’t rate this very well because it was also a bit bitter and the fishy thing.

-EDIT—
So I did one more steep and it was so smooth! The fish thing I’ve been experiencing has diminished. I’m bumping the rating up a bit.

BLAH this was gross today. My boyfriend mixed this with some unknown black tea but steeped it for far too long! blahh!! I need another tea STAT!
