Right. So the raspberry I-just-need-something phase is over with.
This one is very deliberately chosen. I was sitting here and thinking about it. Like, it wouldn’t leave my head at all. I was telling myself that I had just decided to try and finish off some of my tiny amounts, but it wasn’t working.
I’ve only had this once before and the rating says I liked it, but apart from that I can’t actually remember what I thought of it. (I do remember that eating one of the raisins post steeping wasn’t particularly successful. No flavour left. And eating one pre steeping was even less so, covered in dry-leaf-taste as it was.)
There’s a jasmine-y note to the aroma. Having checked my previous note, I can’t believe I didn’t catch that before. Anyway, this just hitting the spot right now.
I like this best after it has steeped and then cooled off just the tiniest tad, because that’s where the sweetness of the raisins come out and they rather suit the oolong.
