Tart and fruity herbal best enjoyed cold. I mean, I wouldn’t have this regularly or anything…I just enjoy this once in a while as a coldbrew like today.
Notes of tart/acidic (in a fruity way), no jasmine or gooseberry flavour. Fruity with no distinct fruits notable (maybe pear, apple, grapefruit, lemon, orange zest). Bitterness of fruit peels are best countered by sweetener or ice/cold water.
Flavors: Apple, Citrusy, Fruity, Herbs, Lemon Zest, Mint, Orange, Pear, Sour, Tart
I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).
I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)
My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
