Sipdown! (24 | 60)
So this is a gorgeous blend, with the chrysanthemum blossoms mixed with rosebuds and the bright blue cornflower petals. Plus I generally like TCM ingredients, so I was excited to try it.
But… This pretty much tastes like chrysanthemum, and a very peppery chrysanthemum at that. I get a bit of the rose I guess, but the whole thing leans very savory, and the strong peppery notes make me feel like I’m eating biscuits and gravy LOL. I was hoping to taste the goji as well, but there’s nary a hint unfortunately. I do get a little touch of the licorice root in the finish.
Still a nice tea, as I do like chrysanthemum, but not what I was hoping for.

I ordered one of each of Chroma Tea’s new flavours because I simply couldn’t help myself. This one is inspired by a traditional Eight Treasures herbal blend which is, honestly, not something I really love – so my expectations were a bit lower here. The dry leaf is fucking GORGEOUS though and it honestly didn’t smell too bad. Very floral, leaning jasmine.
Steeped there’s a lot going on, but the flavour my palate latched on to the most with the jasmine oil. It had a surprisingly fresh and sweet flavour to it, and though I’m not really a huge fan of jasmine I liked how it complimented the honeyed sweetness of the chrysanthemum. Plus, all the flavours were sort of “lifted” a bit more than they may have been otherwise by the presence of licorice root which – thankfully – didn’t come through as an individual taste so much as its presence was felt in the way it interacted with other ingredients.
