Visual: A mixture of light and dark green leaves this loose tea comes packaged in silk triangular shaped sachets.
Dry Aroma: Very Pungent - currently undescribable
Flavor: Full bodied and slightly bitter - probably attributed to the bergamot as I am reminded of a lemon/orange rind. I prefer to drink with sweetener - sugar, sugar in the raw or honey
Liquor: Dark yellow to light brown
Brewing Time: 3-8 minutes - I opt for 8 minutes because I love a strong cup of tea.
Manufacturer: Harney & Sons Fine Teas
Caffeine: Yes
Special Note: One tea bag brews two cups of tea
