Sherlock-inspired tea from Adagio. Looks fun.

Sherlock Tea

Now I briefly review the smells.

Mycroft Blend:

It’s strong smelling, almost like a Christmas-y smell. It’s a pretty coarse blend. Reminds me of where I used to get my Christmas tree. Extremely aromatic.

Molly Blend:

This is the sweetest tea I have ever smelled. Very fruity. Reminds me of fruit flavored jellies. It’s a really cool looking blend. It has what look like little sunflowers in it.

Watson Blend:

This is the most popular blend to my understanding so I hope I like it. It’s strong smelling, but not too strong. It smells a little minty, almost like freshly cut grass. Maybe I think that because the blend looks like grass. I get a little Christmas-vibe from this blend also.

Sherlock Blend:

I just want to say that this one has the coolest picture on the front. It smells just like the Watson blend, but with something else. I can’t describe the extra smell. It’s just there.

Moriartea Blend:
Mild. I once again get a Christmas vibe from this. It’s sweet like the Molly blend, but it  has some characteristics of the Sherlock blend.

I can’t wait to actually steep some of this!
