Courtney sent me this tea, thank you and as getting H&S teas here is a bit hard (a narrow selection); I am glad to have an opportunity to give it a try. I just looked and yes, I can get a tin of this, but it is a bit too much.
Anyway, it is a mellow black tea with stonefruit flavour. I am though not really sure if I can point out apricot after first session. The scent is strong and can be offputting for some for sure. I have been expecting also more complex fruity flavour — it was somehow flat and maybe a wee artificial to me. Just being fruity, but not like a biting a fresh apricot with juicy and mouthcoating experience.
While it’s not bad in conclusion, I probably expected more; especially with my previous experience with H&S teas.

I found this far too perfume-y when I first got it. Now the tin has been in my office and over time the over-the-top scent has become much better and now I actually quite enjoy this for a work tea.
