AJRimmer Advent Day 10
I made a cup of this and put it in my new ceramic travel thermos that arrived today and I feel like the tea was tainted by the new mug. I had prewashed it and everything. :( Second steeping went into my regular mug and it much better. It’s a good cup of tea and it’s smooth, but I’m not able to pin the light floral flavors I’m tasting on top of the base which is also light. I thought it might be fruit, but as it has cooled it seems to have a rose aftertaste. The kind that eating petals leaves, not a rose candy perfume type of taste. There were cute and tiny buds in the tea mix that looked like mini rose buds. Heather maybe? There isn’t much info on the Steepster page for this tea and I can’t find it on Plum Deluxe’s website either. Thanks for sharing some of your newly acquired tea, AJR!
Just looked at the ingredients on the bag, and you’re totally right! Heather flowers. The only other ingredient listed is lilac essence. This one smells great – I look forward to trying it this spring!
