Liquor:
This tea is a mellow, light, fruity tea. the flavorings are slightly more than subtle. I enjoy this tea but always wish it had a little more punch to the flavor. On the other hand it smells divine.
I had this tea while visiting my mom, being a fan of subtle many of her teas are whites, greens, and subtle flavored.
