Steeped this at work and the whole mug smelled like fresh magnolia and orchid before I even took a sip. The honeysuckle note lingers on the finish, and I've already gone through half the bag in two weeks.

The dry leaves already smell like a spring garden, but once steeped, that honeysuckle note really blooms and lingers on the palate. I’m on my third pot today and the orchid sweetness stays smooth without ever turning bitter.

I’ve been brewing this high mountain oolong every afternoon since it arrived, and the wild magnolia blossoms give it a floral lift that stays through several steepings. The honeysuckle and orchid notes come through more as it cools, which is a nice surprise. Tea arrived fresh, no crushed leaves, jus
