This tea is wonderful and has a dreamy finish. When fixing my second cup I noticed a snail shell in the bag. I contacted customer service and they reassured me that it is a result from the tea being an unprocessed agricultural product. The boiling water should prove adequate to killing any microbes that might exist. I did my research and it appear to be legit. The tea is still really good and I would recommend it anyone who likes coffee but dislikes tea. This is the brew to change their minds.
Got the decaf version. Dry blend smells great, the overall liquor is fine but the tea body is a little thin/weak and the other ingredients in it sadly aren't helping that much to contribute to the body/overall flavor (in comparison to other decafs i.e., Friday's Evening or Strawberries And Cream where the other ingredients easily come out to compensate). Then again, this is typical of decaf tea in general, since the processing of removing the caffeine sadly also tends to remove other aromatic compounds that give that "tea" taste. I'm sure it would be great if I had ordered the regular black base though!
