First BF parcel has landed, and this appears to be a new tea from ATR. Dates, figs, raisins, almonds, vanilla, and sesame? Automatically sold. My dry leaf wasn’t nearly as chunky as the picture, unfortunately, but it smells like fruitcake.

I created a new placement for this one even though I’m pretty sure this is Sultan’s Delight renamed. It has the same ingredients and smells similar, although I swear I remember Sultan’s Delight to smell distinctively like cherry almond despite there being no cherries in there. This one doesn’t?

This one also seems quite a bit nuttier in flavour than Sultan’s Delight. And when I got my mom to try this last night, she oddly enough got a honeydew note from this. As soon as she said that, the next sip I took, there it was, but only initially. First, it’s creamy honeydew, then the dried fruit and nuts take over.

So either ATR slightly tweaked this tea and renamed it, or it is the same tea but there’s a batch difference. Either way, it’s delicious and I would consider upgrading from a sample to a full size.

This is the same as Sultan’s Delight…we changed the name to better reflect the ingredients – but it is the same. Thanks for the nice review

Thanks for the clarification! I do like the name change.
