Everything I’ve had previous from Shang Tea has been wonderful, so I had admittedly high expectations for this even though it was a bonus sample (yay!) and not something I had chosen myself.
I’ve never had honeysuckle blossom in a tea before, so I wasn’t completely certain on what to expect.
The cup is sweet, buttery, vegeta, sweet and slightly nutty. It’s not a honey sweetness, and not really sugary either, but more of a floral-like sweet.
It’s hard to pick out the base because it all kind of blends together to create a really lovely, relaxing cup.
And for fun, this:

is my earliest memory of honeysuckle.
