Lupicia, Lupicia, Lupicia… Maybe if I click my heels together, they won’t close the website. :(
This one is an apple green tea. The leaves are somewhat large and feathery, as opposed to the darker slender sort that Lupicia also sometimes uses. It has a light, smooth, and slightly sweet flavor with notes of dry grass and hay.
The apple flavor here is sharp and refreshing, like a granny smith apple. There’s a little bit of candy-like edge to it, but overall it tastes fairly authentic in my opinion. The crispness of the apple pairs really well with the grassy nature of the base tea. There’s just a tiny hint of dryness that mimics the skin of the apple nicely.
I’m not sure on this one… I may just get one more packet before the online store closes.
In other news, I finished unpacking and putting away my tea and teaware stash in my new house: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMMemdlZcu/

I have this on the way. I can’t wait to try it since I love Granny smith apples and I loved your picture!
Thank you, dears!
@Kawaii – if you like sencha and granny smith apples, I think you’ll enjoy this one!
Wow, so cool! Tea party at Cameron B.’s place!!! I love your array. :)
ashmanra, unfortunately, this appears to be the case. :( https://steepster.com/discuss/28561-lupicia-dot-com-closing-group-order-for-people-in-the-us-no-happy-bags (you need to scan down a bit on the first page to see where this came up)
@ashmanra – It seems they are closing all of their stores in the US (including the website) except for the Hawaiian store. They’re also closing their French and Australian stores, and presumably those websites as well.
Looks amazing. :D

Online store closes? No more Lupicia orders?

@liz – Thank you, I would love that! Can’t get enough of dainty afternoon tea foods. ;)
Made a panic-induced order with them yesterday. :(
Sadly, this will probably be when Lupicia gets the most orders. :/
@Tabby – I made one $60+ order already and now have another $100 cart that I haven’t submitted quite yet…
