This tea has a sweetness to it that’s more like lime and sugar, but it’s not cloying. The lime is definitely there, but it’s a bit of a “battle” with what seems to be added sugar (at least it tastes like regular white sugar to me). It’s quite tasty though, and of course there’s the general fruit tea in the background that’s nice and refreshing. Thank you Martin!
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).

Just in case someone reads this note when drinking it (I have included a few bags to the TTB I think) — there isn’t any white sugar added, it just tastes like a bit like that.
