I enjoy how the smooth, earthy, almost cocoa-y Yunnan contrasts with the fresh, clean, slightly tart (but not really) lemon. It’s really delightful. I find it a very relaxing tea – smooth and silky enough to make me release some tension, but the lemongrass gives it a nice fresh taste that makes me feel calmly alert instead of ready to take a nap. I still maintain what I said in my previous tasting note that this tea is very much not a normal type flavor for me – I’m not one for putting lemon in my tea. But the flavors work together so wonderfully that it really is enjoyable to sip on. It brings me subtle joy.

Chocolate and lemongrass is a combination that I would have never thought of, but I can kind of see that working!
It’s really a surprising tea but this just works so well together (I have to give credit to Samovar’s blending skills here, too, because they seem to really know how to pair flavors). It’s refreshing and comforting and just really nice. And surprising. Did I mention it is surprising?
