This one smells very pear-like dry. Steeped it starts smelling like a mix of juicy pear and green apple/green apple candy. The flavour is quite good. It’s a bit floral and mostly pear. A said “This tastes just like juice. Warm juice.” We made this pretty late, so what remained of our cups got thrown into the fridge.

This morning this was great chilled. I would say the same pear/green apple flavour, but with the faintest hint of chalkiness. It wasn’t overly distracting and was just in the background.

Thank you Cameron! :)

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).
