2 Tasting Notes
This tea smelled delicious; however the flavor was a bit odd. The initial flavor was of heavy rose, then mellowed into a softer floral, then left you with a bold, dark cherry finish. Because of the heavy rose/floral notes, it needed something to make it more refreshing. I ended up adding a splash or two of apple cider to give it that little bit of brightness I thought it needed. I did cold brew this and feel it would be warming and bold if served hot.
Flavors: Cherry, Floral, Rose
Preparation
This tea has an initial buttery flavor then transitions into a heavy dried peach flavor. This combination was not refreshing and made it hard to stomach; after a few sips, I dumped it out. The flavor was quite raw and I felt could use some spices to mellow it out. I did cold brew it, but feel it would be evenmore intense as a hot tea.
I was disappointed as I do like other Simpson & Vail flavored teas.
Flavors: Butter, Floral, Peach
