Sampled this at the Victoria Tea Festival. One of the exhibitors was saying that this is their best-selling tea. While I can see that, since most of the others smelled very underwhelming, the taste was a little too artificial to me. Yes, it was in-your-face pear. You couldn’t have mistaken it at all. Seeing that this is a Finnish tea, it makes sense why this may be one of their strongest since pear is a ridiculously popular flavour in Scandinavia.

I almost bought some just because I wanted a sencha. But ultimately passed. I had to ask myself, “Wait a minute, do you even like pear tea?” Not really.
