Having the last of this taster. I was really hoping to adore AU teas. They have such interesting sounding blends, but they more often than not don’t translate to a cup I thoroughly enjoy. This one for example is good. It has an interesting blend of flavors. Fruity with spices. The apple comes out really well in the sip and doesn’t taste artificial. The fennel is very present in the finish. Somewhere between sip and finish is an alkaline appearance that I can’t get over. Each sip is like a roller coaster of spicy fruity goodness plunging down into a taste void and then back up to deliciousness. It’s distracting and playing hard to get in between being welcoming. I’ve had relationships like that before and they don’t last. Farewell to you, little tea.
