Not sure if I want to taste sand in my tea, anchovies sounds interesting as well cheese. But well, it sounds like nice tea anyway.
I guess it’s not really a strong flavour of sand (in spite of what I wrote :D), more like a minerality I would expect from a stream that’s located in an area with lots of limestone and other arid or sandy soils. Anyway, there sure are many types of sand that taste quite differently, so you shouldn’t brush them off as a category I think :P
But seriously, this is quite a nice tea indeed!
I was just thinking about it. Yes, I undestand that in terms of minerality :) but seeing sand in first place is… uncommon. But as you wrote, there are many different sands.
