Mighty Leaf Tea sent me three sample teas. One black (Orange Dulce), one green (Green Tea Tropical), one tisane (Chamomile Citrus). It's from their "Artisan's Choice" three-pack. I got the single three-pack last night.
This morning I tried the Orange Dulce. I'm not thrilled. It's not a "pure black" tea: it's a blend. It's got green tea, black tea, jasmine, citrus, and "natural flavors." I think the jasmine overpowered the flavor of the rest of the tea. It's almost like I could taste the flower as if I had pulled it the branch! Maybe it would do well with sugar? I like to drink my tea without adding anything in order to get the full flavor. I only got the one pouch, so maybe I'll try it next time.
And speaking of pouch, I didn't expect the teas to come in "silken pillow pouches." I thought I'd get loose tea...oh well...not a big deal. I imagine the pouch is nylon, though...it was "loose" tea, I suppose, since it had room to unfurl in the bag. I had hoped the tea would be loose in the pack sans bag...I had my diffuser all ready.
Another thing about the tea is that I don't know what kind of black tea or green tea is used in the blend. Not sure where it was grown, or any other details about it.
Lastly, the aroma was pretty powerful, but I don't think it added to the experience of the tea. It almost took away from it. :-( I'm being pretty hard on this one.
