6106 Tasting Notes
(52teas (Frank) 2022: 4)
Didn’t mean to brew this tonight, but I grabbed the wrong packet. Not a problem – it’s a nice, familiar cup of honeybush. Tastes like candy strawberry with some rhubarb tartness. 66 seems like a low rating, but I don’t think I’ve ever really been terribly consistent with my rating system.

Eh, this should check all the boxes for me, but for some reason I’m just not a big fan. It’s lightly spiced, perhaps ginger the most prominent? A bit creamy from the coconut. I’m not sure what I’d want to be different; maybe it needs some sweetening?

This tea has no right to taste as good as it still does. It was absolutely delicious – although strangely enough, I was getting more of a raspberry cheesecake vibe than apricot? Not really sure what was going on with that, but it didn’t matter, because it was creamy and a bit tangy and fruity, and I think I resteeped it twice. I was expecting it to be somewhat flavourless so I could use it as a sipdown for Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge prompt (apricot tea) but no, I guess I’ll have to find another, because I’d like to savour these last couple cups.
Would loooove to see this one reblended! I’d forgotten about it entirely.

2022 Sipdown 23/365!
Loved this tea, and to the end it still smelled really delicious, rich and creamy. The coconut was only hinting at going off, which is a surprise since this must be at least 8 years old. The brewed up flavour didn’t taste as good as the original, but reminded me of how good it had been. A decent sendoff.
2022 Sipdown 22/365!
I had held back a single cup of this from making iced tea just so I could try it one last time hot. It was fairly unremarkable. I’m just not a big fan, and never was; I’m not sure why because you’d think Lupicia would be able to do peach really well considering their success with other fruits, but I guess not!

2022 Sipdown 20/365!
Sipdown of a version that had (stale) sunflower seeds (I have it marked as Feb 2017, so thereabouts somewhere). It was a pretty unremarkable last cup; I don’t really remember drinking it as I had others on the go at the time, which likely means it was just boring. I have other packets to write about, though.
