i have a new obsession.
depending on my mood this becomes fresh apricot preserves (with more sugar) or fresh apricots off the tree (less sugar).
brilliant.
very smooth, no astringency. i have experimented with standard and double (though not less than) amounts of leaf as well as longer steep times…. it has not gone bitter and i have not had negative results!
predominantly apricot flavour, though a very mild floral aspect after-the-fact. the tea base is the perfect compliment to the fruit component… warmth with very little malt, just enough to differentiate it from the blend assertively.
this is awesome.

I love fresh or preserve apricots( halfs, not jam). Do they sell online?
they do! http://www.specialtea.com/ i think they have 400 blends? it’s the most amazing place. all blended in the store. the vietnamese OP1 black is amazzzzzzzzzzzing.
Good to know James! I have to check them out.
When I eat preserves, which is rare but does happen on occasion, I always go for Apricot or peach.
i prefer apricot… oddly i frequently get an element of tobacco with peach =0/
