I swear I’m going to bed after I write this…
Continuing on the trend of drinking tea from my latest box of samples and ignoring all others…. this is another sample from Azzrian! I haven’t really tried a plum-flavoured tea, and thought it could be interesting.
The steeped tea smells a bit like a winey/grape-juicy rooibos. Yes, definitely smelling the rooibos. Boooo!! Surprisingly, it doesn’t really carry into the flavour… but neither does the fruity plummy taste. Oh wait, there’s a bit in the aftertaste… maybe. Ok yes. But there is really not a lot of flavour here, especially given how much tea I used and the length of the infusion. And… I’m suddenly tasting flavours reminiscent of Fisherman’s Friend cough drops…. blech!!! Not sure if that’s a medicinal-rooibos thing, or what… eek, not a big fan!!! Definitely a miss for me…. but that’s ok!! Had three hits tonight, two of which were new flavours for me, so three outta five ain’t bad! (And I think the tea from Kally Teas has potential, so it might be 4/5!)
Sounds tasty :) I don’t think I’ve tried a plum tea (although Alphakitty sent me a plum oolong, I think).
Its really odd how I won’t have tried (did that sound right?) anyway find I have NOT tried a specific flavor then all of a sudden I have several of that flavor! This one is really nice! I ended up giving the rest of my cup (about half of it) to my mother who dropped by and loved it lol so I put it in a to go cup for her.
She said she didn’t get the wine notes but then she is only just learning about good tea – she grew up on that instant stuff from the green canister with screw top. :p
