Sipdown (516)!
TeaTaxi really does have some of the weirdest named teas…
Anyway, I’ve been holing onto this tea for a little while now waiting until I was deeply committed to a binge watch of something to break it out and finish it off during what I can only assume was the intended timing of such a tea. Well that moment finally happened over the last few days – someone introduced me to The Good Place and in the span of two days I finished both seasons of it. Holy shit it was an AMAZING show, and now I’m just chomping at the bit waiting for more episodes.
I broke this one out right as I was starting season two, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect flavour wise. I just knew that it felt right to be steeping it up. I don’t know; I guess it’s basically like a pineapple and raspberry flavour? I can see that – the overall profile was definitely fruity though in a weird and somewhat artificial and generic way. I think if I was blind tasting I’d have probably just called it slightly tropical and berry tasting though instead of really pinpointing those two flavours specifically. Knowing what they’re meant to be, though? Yeah, I can see it.
It was honestly just ok – and maybe that’s for the best? I think if you’re mid binge, and so obviously at that point where you’re REALLY invested in whatever you’re watching, then you need a tea that’s not so good or so bad that it’s distracting from the show. So if that’s your main criteria, then this nails that. It’s decidedly average, which in a way makes it perfect.
Yeah, I wouldn’t buy it again but it felt pretty perfect finishing it off.

This tastes like a floral cookie. The raspberry is really coming through but as a raspberry flavoring. I am not getting any pineapple. There is also a slight astringency from the base. I wish I could be sure that this is how the tea actually tastes and not the cold messing with how it tastes. Oh well. At least I can actually taste something.
ETA: The cookie quality I am getting is because there is a butteryness to this tea that comes off rich and similar to baked goods.
