The smell and the taste of teas blew my mind. Really nice throat feel, enjoyable, delicious!
I strongly recommend it to everyone!
Iron Goddess Tea has this deep, roasted aroma that pulls you in, and the taste? Smooth, a little floral, with a toasty finish that sticks around. It's so refreshing and I always like looking into the almost neon green color. Definitely a staple in my tea collection.
Good stuff
One of my favorite things about this tea is how it keeps giving. First steep is light and floral, second is deeper, almost cream-like, and by the third, it’s all warm roasted goodness. So worth it. I always brew gongfu style.
Every time I brew this, I notice something new. First, it’s floral, then a little nutty, then kind of sweet in the aftertaste. It’s smooth, never bitter, and perfect for a slow, relaxing tea session.
