The leaves of this tea are quite lovely. They remind me of the Russian olive trees I had around my house growing up, and I don’t know if it’s some weird sense memory playing tricks on me, but it seems to smell a lot like those trees as well. Can a tea taste olivey? Or maybe it’s seaweedy? Despite this description, it’s actually a pretty pleasant tea in an unusual kind of way. I’m just not getting the melon notes other people described; I wonder if I messed it up in the brewing? Maybe the water was hotter than I thought.
