Queen West Blend from Tealish
76

This is a nicely-done fruity black, a type about which I can be picky. I appreciated the substantial-but-not-bitter black base, too. But, I agree with the other reviews that say it’s just kind of underwhelming. I don’t think anything about it is memorable. In fact, it just made me want to drink a cup of Notting Hill from Yumchaa for a little more fruity kick! I expected from the scent and the ingredients list that this one would have too much going on, and I think that is the case. While the fruit flavours are nice, they all just blend together.

LOL, look at the coincidence, I was drinking a cup of Notting Hill last evening and really enjoying it.

Too funny! Notting Hill is so lovely. I’m missing it as I’m trying to save what I have left. I was planning on placing a Yumchaa order soon but am now waiting to see if there’s another trip to London in the works. If so, there will be some serious re-stocking!

Oh I so have that problem, I try to save bits of my favorites, hoard them for ages, till they loose a lot of taste :( Spoil yourself, and here´s rooting another trip is on the works for you (if that is a good thing of course!).

Thank you for the go-ahead! I think I might spoil myself. I hate to let tea lose its flavour. Not the best tactic. Another trip would indeed be a good thing, and would probably leave me with lots of free time for tea purchasing!
