Just finishing off a mug of this now, with a nice splash of milk added.
I brought this with because I thought both my mom and dad might like it – so far a checkmark from mom but, since I don’t switch to my dad’s house for a week, we’ll have to wait to see what he thinks.
I find, especially with the milk inclusion, this is a very thick feeling tea. The black tea base already has so much body to it so the fact it’s a step past that is really interesting to me – and I think it works so well with this type of pretty straight forward honey note. Honey in tea blends is a fickle flavour for me, but I appreciate how this one has a bit more of an aromatic floral lean to it when still having that darker, more dense golden sweetness of what I would maybe describe as a “classic” honey taste. As opposed to, well, something more specific like buckwheat or linden honey.
I don’t know that this blend sparks as much joy for me as some of Murchie’s others, but the flavour is a lot more of what I’d call an “any mood” flavour in that I could see myself drinking this more regulatory than some of the other blends I enjoy more but that have really specific ‘vibes/moods’ associated to them…
