Ronde Fruitée

Thanks very much again for the awesome box of teas, Cameron B! I was wondering what this one was reminding me of…. and it suddenly dawned on me that it’s those orange flavored cinnamon rolls! But mainly the frosting and not the actual roll. I do really like that flavor of frosting, even if those aren’t really my favorite base of cinnamon rolls. Anyway, there is also a hint of floral flavor on a lighter black tea base. This would definitely be a flavor I would occasionally crave, and when it’s good, it’s good! But if you aren’t really in the mood for this type of flavor, I can see how it might be cloying. The tea flavor this is closest to would be Della Terra’s Orange Brulee. (Not to say these are the same teas at all — they have different bases.) I like it!

Really unsure why I chose this tea to order, as I never like honey flavoring in tea. It always tastes artificial, and reminds me of those honey cough drops. :P

This is a nice enough tea. The orange is sweet and juicy, and the honey isn’t horribly artificial-tasting. It still doesn’t taste like actual honey (it never does), it’s more cloying in a way? Maybe it’s the floral notes that are off to me.

Regardless, this one will go into my rehoming box, because although it’s drinkable, I can’t see making it through 100g of it ha ha. Serves me right for ordering something I know I don’t like. XD
