Many thanks to Thistea.com for sending me this sample.

Nice balance of flavours. I can see this being a good alternative to a breakfast blend. I often find “Breakfasts” to be too bitter, I would certainly be glad to drink this instead.

Dry leaf aroma: cannabis, chocolate, roasted

Brewed tea aroma notes: slight muscatel, roasted, sour grape

Too tart with the tartness cutting through the apple and cranberry flavours. Juicy note. Thin mouthfeel.
This tea reminds me of a sour candy without the sweetness.

Great combination of flavours. The vanilla gives a creamy note which softens the harshness that I normally find with chamomile.
