Having this hot steeped and poured over ice today. This is very floral! I get a ton of rose in the aftertaste with a bitter wave. I might be able to imagine raspberry in the sip before the rose kicks in. With some teas there is a bitter taste in the first few sips that fades once I get used to it, but it stays strong in this tea! Adding cream makes this tea WAY better! I can pick out notes of raspberry in the scent of the tea, but it is still difficult to pick it out in the sip. I’m not super familiar with the taste of macaroons, but this tea is inspiring me to become more acquainted with them. I’m not crazy about this tea, but I’m not turned off by it either.

Coconut? I always associate that and chocolate with macaroons.
Macaroons have coconut. Macarons are ground almonds. Macarons are one of the “in” foods at the moment. Macaroons are old fashioned. Personally, I prefer the old fasioned kind dipped in chocolate. :) This tea was okay when I tried it. Good girly tea party tea. Didn’t try it iced though.
Ground as in almond meal type flour? I have noticed a surge in macaroon popularity in the past few years.
Ground almonds but not necessarily as flour. To the best of my knowledge, never having made them, they are like meringue cookies – no flour at all in the recipe. Whipped egg whites, sugar and finely ground almonds.
