Another delightful share from Martin :) And thank you for sharing the tidbit about the UNESCO city and gingerbread museum in your note — that was very interesting!

The dried and steeped tea has a very heady gingerbread scent. There were full cloves in the dry leaf! The clove is there, but not as intense as this essentially pure clove tea from A.C. Perch that I now measure clove against. The cinnamon seems to be complementing the clove in a great way where neither overtake the cup. There is a whisper of sweetness at the end of the sip that could potentially be the Morello cherry as well. A really lovely tea!

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, 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).
