1 tablespoon for 248 ml
I can taste a mixture of the coconut and raspberry- but only very faintly. This blend reminds me of “Fantasy Island” by David’s Tea. The black tea base is a little too astringent. There may have been some spearmint contamination from my Nearly Nirvana sample sitting beside it.

Predominant flavour is lavender with chamomile in the background. Hibiscus is very well blended- I can’t pick it out in the blend. There a slight lemony zing which I’m sure the hibiscus is accentuating.

I think that this tea must have lost some flavour in transit.
Thanks Sil for sharing this with me!
Preparation
:( That’s unfortunate. Btw, I’d suggest splitting future samples into unflavoured/mildly flavoured/strongly flavoured to prevent contamination. I’m very glad that I took some strongly flavoured things (e.g. cloves, cinnamon, mint) away from my other samples, bc otherwise I think they would have all tasted like that. I’m not gonna offer you another sample of this from my bag, because I’m currently very possessive of it, but when I order more in the future (it’s a when), remind me and you’re welcome to have some, with minimal transit time :)
That’s a good idea! I was using two boxes to transport but I guess I could have used another. There were one or two in the mildly/non-flavoured box that accidentally got away from me and made friends with some of my more delicate teas! Don’t worry about another sample- I have so many more to try!!
(Oh, don’t worry – your sample was entirely from Sil. I’m just saying that although I don’t think she’s going to order more, I will be!)

Smooth taste and mouthfeel. No astringency. Floral tone in background near after aftertaste. Fruity note most like a creamy papaya but it is a lot fainter than what I’d like. Presence of green tea with a slight vegetal hint.
Thanks to Sil for sharing!

A little astringency. Authentic plum aroma. Marshmallow aftertaste. Sencha base flavour comes through. Odd sharp metallic/pungent/slightly swampy note that has a zinging sensation on the tongue.
Thanks to Sil for sharing!
