The smell was divine, the tea was surprisingly full for a white tea. This was a swap from LENA who had the teas each labeled and i adorable tiny Tupperware, she included amazing notes for each tea!
I failed to read the Steepster notes first and am surprised everyone else tasted cake and not berry.
If it tasted as amazing as it smelled I'd get it again, but alas the taste is pretty standard.
Rating: 2/4 leaves
