This tea is great. Expensive yes… but delicious. It is more of the essence of the ingredients. There is also a great after taste where it lingers. It is also not too flowery. Also, it should be noted that the suggested serving was 1 tsp. So for me, it sort of justifies the price… sort of. But it IS delicious! I have .5 oz to start, and am waiting until I get to the bottom of the bag whether or not I would buy more
