Smell the tea, consider the colour and what it reminds you of. Is it sweet? Strong? Musky? Inviting? Steamy?

What effect might the tea have? Energise you? Calm you?

Create an advertisement for your tea using descriptive sentences.

Use these sentence starters to help you describe the smell:An aroma of…A hint of…..An echo of…..A scent of….A bouquet of…An abundance of….A plethora of….A burst of….
