I really wanted to like this one, but I just can’t. It has a weird and off-putting chemical aroma, and while that note’s much subdued in the flavor it’s not entirely absent. Otherwise, I’m mostly getting what seems to be a slightly smoky base (or maybe that’s the whiskey flavoring?). I don’t get sweet potato, or much in the way of sweetness. In fact, I’ve had unflavored teas that tasted way more like sweet potato than this one does. It could be that I’ve let this sample sit too long, but whatever the reason this one isn’t doing it for me at all. Thanks to Dustin for letting me sample it, since I would’ve been pretty disappointed if I’d ordered a whole bag!

Heh heh heh! It is a weird one, isn’t it! I didn’t like it much at first, but it did end up growing on me. Now I taste that base in other Lupicia teas like Cookie. Glad I didn’t get the chemical flavors you did!
Yeah, I don’t know what it was—maybe something to do with the whiskey flavoring? It’s funny, because I usually dislike Lupicia’s black base but it seemed pretty okay here (if only by comparison with how much other aspects were not okay!). But I did think the base worked well in Cookie, so maybe I just don’t like it with fruit flavoring.
