I got a beautiful package of tea samples today. Thank you Cameron B. :D Sitting in the car with the package was intoxicating. I couldn’t wait to get home! It smelled so good. I chose this one first because the only Kusmi tea I have ever tried (and drink on a regular basis) is their detox… And that’s for health reasons. I’ve always been curious about the rest of their teas, especially this one. I was delighted to see this was one of the samples. :D

Hardly any experience with flavored teas. I once tried a flavored matcha, and it literally tasted like an artificial green apple in turpentine. Up until my first Lupicia order, I have never really liked flavored teas. What I’ve found is… I just don’t like artificially flavored tea. I can’t stand strawberry Nesquick but I could eat a big bag of fresh strawberries. So now, after that decent experience, I don’t have to shy away from certain flavored teas. :D

Anastasia, what a beautiful name for a product. It smelled fancy, perfumey, citrusy, bergamot. Oh my, will it be too perfumey for me? I wondered. Nope, it wasn’t. The dark mahogany liquor did not have a too-perfumey-taste or too floral taste (thank goodness), it was a yummy bergamot with a good balance of natural lime and citrus notes. I like it!
