One of the main reasons for placing my most recent August Uncommon order (aside from not being able to sleep at 2am), was to try this tea. I absolutely love violet. I grew up enjoying C.Howard’s violet gum and candies, so violet is a flavor/fragrance that I gravitate towards. The dry leaf and brewed aroma is like walking through a field of violets and blackberry bushes. Sticky sweet floral berry divinity. There’s an almost lychee quality to it. The mouthfeel is like silk. The flavor is unreal. I did add 1 raw sugar cube, but it didn’t need it. It’s sticky sweet, and packed full of violet flavor. The berry flavoring combines perfectly with the floral, and the lapsang is barely there, but present enough to tie everything together. This blend is a stunner.

How would you describe violet on its own as a flavor? I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like that.
Violet is a tough one to describe! It’s a very sweet floral, but is very distinctive. I can send you the rest of my sample if you’d like to try it!
I would love to try it, but only if you’re sure you don’t mind sending your sample. Let me know if there’s anything I can send to you. I’ve purchased a few things since our last swap.
I’d be happy to send you a sample! No need to send me anything in return.
Thank you so much!!
