Momo box tea!
The dry leaf smells like plum and rooibos. I didn’t smell much vanilla off the dryleaf.
The liquor smells so divinely fruity. yum! And it tastes slightly like this stuff that I get on Amorgos (Greek Island) that’s made of fermented figs- All it’s missing is the alcohol content! This is the second plum tea I’ve had recently that would make an excellent hot toddy! I really need to try this out in the winter with some rum! :-)
As I continue to sip it, I pick up more on the subtle vanilla which sweetens the plum. It could have been too tart. The rooibos is a creamy kind, not a lot of menthol action going on here like I get with some of the more potent varieties. Like the vanilla, it works to mellow out the tartness of the plum, but also lends a darkness which rounds out the flavor so that the plum is really juicy and full.
The mouth-feel kind of reminds me of a hard candy- it’s that full and juicy.
