I can’t believe I have only one tea note on this one considering I drink this all the time. I alternate this one with Laoshan Black to take in my Timolino almost every day. They both hold up exceptionally well in the Timolino. This tea is the best parts of Laoshan Black with added chocolate-y goodness and the roasty toastiness of rice. I’ve seen some people mention the oolong – either I enjoy the oolong, or I just don’t notice it.
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, 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 (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).
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 with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).

Love this one too!
Ha, I just had this a while ago too, and I haven’t even written a note on it at all yet despite having it quite a few times already. Go figure, eh?
Hope that annotated bibliography is going well. Talk about busywork.
Nicely done!
