Thanks Cameron for all these awesome OBTC teas to try!

I tried brewing this at both 190° F and 200° F and the cardboard mineral taste took over the flavour, but when brewed at boiling I found it to be much more enjoyable.

The cream flavour isn’t subtle, but also not right at the forefront. The orange flavour is much more subtle. The cream comes off kind of ‘mouth-filling’ foam almost? I’m not sure of the best wording to describe this. The second steep is decent.

1st steep 3 minutes
2nd steep 4 minutes, 30 seconds

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec

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).
