I really adore this tea. The dry leaves smell almost overpoweringly fruity, and are very pretty with the yellow, red, and blue flowers. The liqueur is a bright orange-gold, and smells more like apples than any other fruit. Actually, if you made hot apple cider and tossed a few strawberries or currants in the pot, I think this is how it would smell. The taste: a sweet, light, fruity black tea. But then I always get this deliciously creamy aftertaste, and that gets a bit stronger as it cools.
Must buy more. Someday. When I’m allowed to buy tea again :(

I like this tea too. I wrote a review of it back in September. You can read it here:

I really like Red Leaf Tea – I might just have to place an order with them soon…
It’s pretty great – I wish I’d gotten a large tin in the first place! And you mention a floral taste; I never quite notice that specifically, but I think that is where the sweetness is coming from. It just always impresses me how a tea with nothing but black tea and flowers can taste so much like fruit! Red Leaf has a lot of interesting and delicious sounding things, and I just noticed they’re giving away a free small tin with every $10 purchase – so tempted!
