Just a couple more of these David’s winter/holiday teas to go! (Thanks again to Roswell Strange for sending me samples!) This one sounds rather odd to me, but some Steepsterites seem to really enjoy it. The tisane is mostly chunks of apple, though I can see coconut shreds and some crushed leaves. Dry scent is quite minty but I can smell the creamy coconut as well.
The aroma is both minty and coconutty as well, but there’s also some kind of weird sour-ish scent that I don’t enjoy. Okay, this isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I think that slight tart taste comes from the apples, but it’s not tart enough to be weird with the coconut. The mint is super subtle and just adds a nice freshness, while the coconut is smooth and creamy. Actually pretty good! :P

I was really excited to try this, but when I checked it out in-store, the dry leaf smelled, of all things, like dill pickle.
The sales rep told me someone else said the same thing. I doubt they’d put dill in, but I really do wonder what that sour note you mentioned is…
I think the sour was just the apple, because it was giving a very slight tartness in the flavor as well. It does have a little bit of an herbaceous note similar to dill – I think it’s the combination of the mint and the raspberry leaf perhaps?
