So the smell of this one reminds me of a wet dog? It’s not turn-the-stomach repulsive or anything, just wet dog. The tea medium-bodied with hints of lemon in the taste.

I’ve tasted the wet dog thing before, but never in a tea with fruit.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has experienced this. This one doesn’t have actual fruit — I believe it’s made from leaves of a blueberry plant (I Googled and the plant is European bilberry or Caucasian whortleberry). Quite interesting nonetheless!

Lol, I propose we add “wet dog” to the list of flavor descriptors :-D. Kind of torn now on whether I want to revisit this one.

Courtney

Haha LuckyMe — I was so hoping after a few cups your tasting note would become true of my experience, but it just isn’t turning out that way. Such a shame!

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
