This is almost a good tea; just barely misses the mark. When you open the package, it has a very aromatic scent of sugary candy and a slight floral smell; very nice. Upon tasting, though it has an odd mellow flavor like licorice, the black tea is subdued to where I can’t really taste it, and there is tart aftertaste. Not a bad tea, just needs a bit more black tea in my opinion.
