Looking for true tea FOs

[Saponomancer]

Do you think it smells like a darjeeling tea or does it smell more floral like the white tea FOs?

I poured 2 tea testers today, one from Nurture and the other from Flaming Candle. I still don't trust my nose 100% after the flu, but both of these have citrus and/or floral notes. They are definitely not straight black tea.

it smells like an oolong on the greener side, milk oolong maybe, its a little greener than formosa?, I havent actually smelled the white tea FOs!

I really like the BB Black Tea scent. But it's quite heavy on the tobacco scent(which I love). I personally don't think it smells much like tea.

That's the same thing I noted, even after the standard 6 week cure. Nurture's Afternoon Tea actually smells like a citrusy sweetened tea, now that I used some of it. I wish I had used a little more of it though. The smell is going to be a little light, even for my nose.

Good golly, there's so much to comb through here! Thanks for all the input folks, I really appreciate all of it

@artemis - I have been playing with blends actually, yes! I'd love to make some SPN teas sometime, just got to dust off the tablet for the art part of it all!
