This came in a box of tea from Youngest – many thanks!

I have never had a sesame sweet bun so I don’t know how authentic this is to the taste of one. If it is accurate then I would say they must be delightful.

The aroma is very sweet, powerful, and coconut heavy. The blend itself is full of good size pieces of coconut and the steeped tea is quite milky looking from all the coconut oil in it.

I didn’t pay close attention to the dry leaf overmuch the first time I made this but this time I did notice that there were lots and lots of sesame seeds. They lend a strong nutty flavor.

As soon as Ashman took a sip, he said, “Wow, this is a good tea!” That is noteworthy because he rarely comments on tea unless asked directly what he thinks of it. It is logical that he would like this a lot since he really enjoys both Cookie and White Christmas by Lupicia and this has a lot of those vibes to me. The popped rice is lovely here.

The last ingredient listed is flavorings, and I wonder if one of those flavorings is cardamom. I didn’t see any in the infuser basket but I feel like I taste it.
