What do reviewers say about Empire T and Tea Service?
Empire T does none of that. It's green, smoky, a little bitter. The tuberose here sheds its usual character entirely, taking on qualities that feel more angular and sharp than what the flower.Empire T
Most tea fragrances lean one of two ways: aggressively green or suspiciously synthetic. Tea Service sidesteps both. The jasmine tea doesn't perform, it sits. The oolong doesn't shout.Tea Service
