Since my daughter’s husband wasn’t crazy about the puerh, I decided to go ahead and make a pot of Easter Tea because I thought it was much more his type. He loved Genteel Lady which had naranquilla, and he loves anything with cornflowers in it. When I had him sniff the tin he immediately starting poking around in the leaves and made note of his beloved blue flowers and asked about the pink ones. Those were rose petals, I told him. At first I thought I smelled strawberry but it was actually cherry, a nice subtle cherry and not at all like cough syrup cherry.
I was worried about whether he would like it because I am very familiar with the flavor profile he likes but the base was different than I usually give him and I didn’t know if he would enjoy it. He did, though, and I should have known, because he likes white wine and this base has little hints of dry white wine to it. The flavors are lovely and not overpowering and not sickly sweet. Very nice!
It looks like happy confetti!
