Default The new tea smell

It could be wintergreen. For sake of argument Im going to say ever so
slightly lemony. Im not sure of the original packaging. Most likely
nitrogen pack or vacuum like Tennis balls. I brought this up because
it isnt the first time Ive noticed it. It seems to originate in
larger packaging.
