Last tea from the Numi sampler box. My cousin, a coffee drinker, snagged the Aged Earl Grey this morning and really liked it.

It’s been many years since I’ve had Dry Desert Lime. Obviously I wasn’t driven to seek it out again but it’s not too bad. Certainly a strange tisane. I’m not fond of the smell of the dry bag, which is a very pungent, kind of (not hot) spicy sun-scorched desert earth and citrus lime aroma. A little medicinal. Brewed up, the aroma and taste retain those notes but are smoothed out some. It’s quite lime-tart but less acidic than say, a cup of hibiscus. There’s also an interesting almost floral perfume scent that mingles lightly and faint zesty-pithy bitterness.

Really unique and evocative of Moroccan or Persian cuisine.

Addendum: gets bitter and acrid when cooled
