Observations

Sight: The loose leaf for this tea is warm-toned, with dark green tea and rosemary leaves, and orange or light brown orange pieces. The tea steeps a deep red-orange colour.

Smell: This loose leaf smells very sweet and orangey. It kind of reminds me of orange-flavoured candies. As it steeps, it starts to smell a little more herbal and vegetal.

Taste: This tea tastes sweet, citrusy, and herbal. It has a strong orange flavour, with notes of rosemary.

Rating:

⭐ ⭐

I feel like this would be a great tea for people who drink tea for its health benefits. Personally, I put a little more emphasis on the flavour, and while this tea has a very well-crafted flavour to it, it’s not a tea I would drink on the daily.

Notes:

I could see this tea being really good iced!
