This might be my favourite of the Seven Teahouse blends I’ve tried so far, though I have many more to go and they’ve all been excellent quality so I will not be surprised if this one gets dethroned.
The grape flavour was actually pretty shockingly complex. On one hand it had that sort of deep purple, sweet grape flavour that I loosely associate with candy and drinks from the early 2000s (but not so artificial or sweet), and one one hand it was a little more floral and muscatel with some elements of very ripe greener grapes. Quite a fun blend! The floral is definitely supported by the oolong base – which looks like it might be the same across all the flavoured oolongs. If that’s the case I’ll be happy – I really enjoy it.
A trend I’m noticing is that all of the flavourings they’re using are more of that “Japanese Style” interpretation of fruit – not super North American in style. I really dig that. It gives me heavy Lupicia vibes, which is excellent because this company seems way more accessible and easy to order from than Lupicia is.
