Mostly tastes like oranges today – a nice bright orange, but not a great deal of depth to the flavour. I was hoping that the white tea base would have that ‘aged’ flavour that a few others either have or have developed, but no such luck. However, I did just remember that I oversteeped this quite badly, so probably shouldn’t jump to any conclusions about it after this cup. It’s decent enough despite the oversteep.

2022 Sipdown 103/365!
Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge March 2022: Tea flavoured like my favourite pancake/waffle topping
Had to hunt to find a maple-flavoured tea, because of course, what better to have on pancakes/waffles (even though I’m not the biggest fan of either). Real maple syrup though, not that fakey flavoured syrup, yuck. This tea is pretty tasty – I recently made “pear sauce” with an abundance of pears from a last-chance fruit box, and now knowing exactly what cooked pears taste like, this tea is pretty true to that flavour! Plus maple. (I didn’t add maple; I left my sauce unsweetened as it was for my son).
I think this would be a good tea to reblend sometime! Hint, hint.

Strange, I have it recorded that I drank this in Oct 2021, but no note. Oh well.
I think I oversteeped or overleafed it a bit – a bit bitter – but lots of maple flavour, toasty, marshmallowy genmaicha. I like it, but wish that bitterness wasn’t there. Otherwise, it’s quite tasty!

Review for the Dec 2018 advent reblend of this (it looks like I might have 3 versions? Also Jun 2016 and Jan 2020). It’s… alright. Not a huge favourite. Some raspberry, but it comes off kind of plasticky? Maybe cookie aftertaste? No almond that I can detect. It’s pleasant enough, though.

Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge March 2022: French tea
Down to four March sipdown prompts left, heh. I’ve been a bit busy lately and not drinking a ton of tea, but trying to get back to it.
Still enjoy the flavour in this one, kind of a tart fruit with a hint of cream. Pretty tasty.
