OMG, so so gooooood! I could actually drink this one unsweetened, but I did add a tiny amount of raw sugar…much less than I usually do. No milk with this one, though. I might put some in at the very end and see how that is, but this tea is a winner, and a great one to start off with from my care package from sil. This is one I have been wanting to try from a long way back. If we ever do a Della Terra Tea co-op order, I will get this one.

Now in terms of describing the taste, it is really hard to pinpoint the individual flavours, but I get it all at once I get sweet and juicy cakey goodness. The balance point at which the tea base and flavour mesh at is perfect.

Wanting to take big gulps now, but must resist. Must savour the flavour, slowly.

Really, really really glad I had the chance to try this one. Thanks again, sil, for fulfilling a tea dream of mine.

I generally like a lot of tea. I do find I have a preference for flavored over unflavoured, but I do love a good straight tea as well.

Likes are too hard, since there are a lot. Dislikes are easier, so here they are…

Hibiscus. Blech. I can tolerate a little, depending on the brew, like Berry Good from Davids and Ruby Pie from Butiki…but in general, it’s too tart and too strong for me.

Licorice. Anything that remotely resembles licorice is out too, so that includes fennel and anise. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Florals. I’m cool with petals in the tea to make them look pretty (except rose), and I’m cool with teas like oolongs having a floral note, but strong florals can give me migraines. Rose and jasmine are the biggest offenders. This is one where it can vary on the blend, as I can handle Teavivre’s Peach Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea because there is very little jasmine actually detectable in it.

Rooibos is hit or miss. I can do some, but not others. I handle green better than red, and honeybush better than rooibos.

My ratings don’t have a particular scale or method, and may on occasion contradict themselves, but I’m honestly not fussed about that. Sometimes I don’t even rate at all.

Um, I have an extensive wishlist. It is both a list of things I want to get again, and things I want to try. If you are sending me something, and you want to know which is which, I’ll tell you via PM.

Yes, I do trades…usually on request though. See something you want to try in my cupboard? Just shoot me a message and I’ll see what I can do!

Uh, guess that’s it.
