Initial scent of the dried tea was delightful. Rich chocolate, soft rose, and tropical scents that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Now I’m not one who enjoys chocolate too much, the scent was perfect. When brewed the scent was still delightful as I picked up notes of cinnamon and a roasted scent.
However, upon tasting the tea I was disappointed. There were way too many flavors in this tea for me. 1st note I got was chocolate, not bad but not my favorite, then came the cinnamon spice which I enjoyed but then came the tropical flavors which threw me for a loop. Mango at the forefront, another flavor I don’t particularly care for, a slight sweetness then a touch of the floral and it was gone.
Begin a Taurus, I was surprised but also disappointed. This was not what I was expecting for the blend. I’d much rather have an earthy vanilla or a juniper berry or piney flavor.
All and all delicious tea but not for me
