I was so scared to try this tea, I had putting it off for months really. But given my not negative reaction to Davidstea Sleigh Ride, I figured I’d give it a shot. To me, this tastes like some sort of warm cherry juice with a underlying faint taste of banana (it tastes a bit better than my description for the record). I bet this would delicious iced.
I used 2 tsp in my 16oz steeping mug.
I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.
Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:
Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener
Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.

LOL I LOVE Kanpe. To each their own, but yes it is good iced. I like it with a Chinese green base (two tsp green and two tsp Kanpe – 3 cups water) either hot or iced…
