This tea is “a black tea made from an oolong varietal tea plant.” (What does that mean? I need an adult.)
I ordered this sample in addition to the other things I was ordering because I decided to “treat yo’self.” I decided I wanted to try something that was expensive. I sifted through all the $100+ items, then chose the one in stock that sounded best ($133/pound, sample $4).
What are classy, high-end people drinking? When people make tea in movies, is this it?
When I stuck my face in the mug, it smelled amazing. It had a smell I’d classify more as “apricot” than “peach,” with maybe a tinge of vanilla and/or cinnamon. Sniff sniff. I felt like my beagle.
The taste is definitely black tea. There’s a slight maltiness and maybe a dash of metallic taste here. I wrote down the phrase “werewolf blood,” so take that as you will. There are, as I swallow, a bunch of mild fruity and creamy tastes. I get the peach, but that might be because I was primed to think of the peach from the site’s description.
This would be, unfortunately, a great daily drinker. It’s delicious, but not attention-grabbing. I say “unfortunately” because I am obviously not going to be buying $133 of this little number. I have a mortgage.
But this is super-tasty, and I recommend, should something like this come your way, you try it.
Flavors: Apricot, Cream, Malt, Metallic, Peach
