    You gotta really like plum

    I'm not anti-plum (I'd say neutral), but this tea has more plum than a plum. It is VERY fragrant, too much for me. But it you love tea that will make your kitchen smell like plum, this is for you.

    These teas from August Commons are uncommonly wonderful. I can no longer decide what is my favorite tea. This Metropolitan is one of them though. Interesting, calming, rich. Love it!

    I love this tea. I don't usually like cloves but I like cloves in this tea because all the flavors balance well. Really warming.
