This one is from MissB from a while ago! Thank you! Sherlock is one of those things that comforts at the worst of times. I stumbled on the show at one of those times years ago, the first airing of the first episode. This blend is as intriguing as The Woman is to Sherlock (or maybe as Sherlock is as intriguing to The Woman.) It’s a unique blend that fits The Woman perfectly. Though I wish I were writing this while trying the blend fresh, it seems the flavor is a bit faded. There are only a few black tea leaves in the blend of mostly honeybush, but the smokiness on the lapsang souchong is definitely noticeable. I like the idea of cherry and vanilla but I see more rosehips than either of those. The rosehips didn’t add much flavor, luckily. The brew is so LIGHT… as this is mostly a smoky honeybush. But again, I wish this had been reviewed fresh. I think it had more flavor the last time I tried it. But a smoky cherry vanilla honeybush blend sounds exactly like The Woman. Great idea, faded blend.
I haven’t written a tasting note for a while, in part because there has been a number of deaths and illnesses involving family members, family friends or neighbors. Too much of that this year and I really hope the remainder of the year is a lot better for everyone! I’m going to try to appreciate the smaller things even more than usual.
I hope things start looking up for the rest of 2016…and stay that way!
Exactly my thoughts. Just a few positive things for the remainder of the year! Thanks, Ashmanra.
