Pleasant, but like others noted, not overpowering, even though I accidentally oversteeped it on the first brew. Mild but indistinct floral notes, not much finish, but again, may be altered by accidental steeping for almost 2 min.

Flavors: Floral, Perfume

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 2 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

This was a delightful surprise. Earthy but yet clean tasting, and definitely not musty. A round finish. Good go-to green tea for morning, noon, night.

Flavors: Butter, Earth

drank Bombay Chai by Steepster

I was excited to try this chai from the first burst of cardamom and cloves when I opened the package. It is a little thin when brewed according to the instructions. Admittedly, I drink chai with milk and honey, but the spice is a little disappointing compared to what I learned to mix when I had an Indian roommate at one point. It might improve with a longer steep and a little more generous amount of tea than the directions give.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Spices

Preparation
Boiling 2 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML
