So strange, in the store, sniffing from that top pocket/compartment of the canisters, this smelled so floral, almost like rose Turkish Delight. I was delightfully surprised since I thought this would be fruitier.

The tea in my pouch, however, is like a completely different tea. Very close to their discontinued Cranberry Pear. It smells like that but not as creamy, much stronger in the pear-like aroma, but more artificial.

Two cold brews later and I’m done, left unimpressed. I had to mix it with club soda to tone down the sweetness and chemical flavours because alone, it was way too cloying. The flavour also resembles Cranberry Pear, but more artificial. Artificial apple pear candy. Eh.

Weird that the tea in store would come off so differently than what you have.

My opinion of this one is very much the same as yours. Also, quince is definitely like apple/pear but very floral so that could explain the aroma a little; interesting that it didn’t translate to the taste though.

Yeah, I know quince is supposed to be on the floral side but the tea they had in the little compartment was definitely rose. It smelled like a completely different tea. Really strange.
