Dry Leaf Smell: sweet black tearnrnSteeped Tea Smell: black tea and almondsrnrnFlav or: slightly astringent, slightly bitter, black tea, almondrnrnBody: MediumrnrnAfter taste: almonds, astringentrnrnL iquor: opaque dark brownrnrnI would recommend steeping the leaves for less time. (i did 3 min)rnrnI find the almond to be more of an after-taste than as part of the sip. The almond is subtle and not the main event in this tea.
