The dry leaves have an aroma of orange and vanilla.
The bright red infusion has an aroma of sweet vanilla and orange with a taste that reminds me of orange sherbert (ice cream) with mild astringency and a long finish.
The aroma was curiously mild and yet this tea was flavorful with the taste of orange and vanilla right in front. It felt a bit like drinking dessert without the dietary repercussions. Though the full flavor is in the first cup, a second infusion still holds a surprising amount of flavor.
This tea was received as a gift from a third party.
