Description: If this tea came to life it'd hang around art museums and read you French poetry. It's intelligent, creative, and impulsive; fashioned for a professional tea reviewer of similar description. The brassiness of the black tea is softened with floral undertones and sweetened with licorice root and vanilla, for a blend that's refreshing and meditative.
