Yes, indeed. Old eyes.
I happen to absolutely LOVE this tea.
I bought some from Scott earlier in the year and have gifted it to
every dear friend, as well.
It's got a wonderful sweetness, not vegetal and somewhat floral.
It's resilient and holds up to multiple steepings very easily.
Nice to know someone else is savoring this tea!
