Eight Treasures

Another interesting looking blend in my cup this morning. With such a large ingredients list I have no idea what this will taste like.

The mixture whilst loose smells floral with a touch of sweetness. Once steeped the tea is amber in colour with a nutty, floral, slight ricey smell.

Sweet, ricey, floral, buttery…and some strange chemical vodka taste. Bleugh that strange chemical taste is increasing in strength and making it foul.

I can’t finish this so I’m throwing it away and making something else.

Well, I just had to try this. It just sounded so unique and with the free shipping with no minimum order I decided to take the leap.

I found the rose was more noticeable than the other ingredients, which is not a bad thing. Well after the steep I get the fruit notes which definitely linger. It is light, slightly earthy. Not in a grassy vegetal way but rather a rough dirt kind of way. The earthiness is a consistent during the entire experience. The most interesting part is how well the natural floral and fruit sweetness finish off the cup. It is delightful.
