MAH –
Very nice afternoon tea. I can pick up on the floral notes pretty obvious, but I had to heat the water to over 190°. My late grandmother kept roses and other fragrant flowers in her home, this is what it reminded me of. I also heated it another time but at a lower temperature, around 180°, and the floral notes weren’t really there. But that does does not take away from the overall flavor. I did not pick up any vanilla nor honey on the aftertaste at either temperature. Nevertheless I do recommend this tea even if you are not a “floral” type. Just don’t heat the water terribly high and you’ll be good.
