drank Orange by Tante-T
1443 tasting notes

These teas from Tante T are amazing. The dry leaf here smells incredibly strongly like a freshly peeled orange, and it’s no surprise due to the orange pieces mixed into the leaf. It smells like it was blended this afternoon (though I picked it up a couple weeks ago and know this isn’t true).

The black tea is a nice base with no astringency to speak of, which I appreciate. The orange is at the forefront, but isn’t cloying or overpowering in any way. It’s just a lovely tea overall. This does make me think of the holidays since so many holiday blends have orange. :)

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
