I guess I never knew what honeysuckle smelled/tasted like until I tried it as a tea. I suppose I was expecting dried flowers and honey, but I would describe this mostly as very vegetal. Because I do not like vegetal, I’m not going to give this a number rating. The flowers taste very fresh and look beautiful, I have no doubt this is high quality honeysuckle, but as I found out, I don’t actually like the flavour of honeysuckle flowers.
This smells/tastes exactly like ocra, the same vegal flavours you find in zucchini peel and green beans. No floral notes, but tastes like ocra buds. Slight sweetness.
Liquor brews a pale yellow. I left the leaf in for about 10 minutes and it did not oversteep, which is excellent. I think I will try this iced with cucumber and lemon for when I work out. The vegetal flavour will combine well with the cucumber + citrus.
