Unicorn Fluff

Mastress Alita’s Monthly Sipdown Challenge: a tea that makes you happy
Sipdown 11/36

This tea is so cute- marshmallows and unicorn sprinkles. It certainly makes me happy! It’s an okay blend, not something I need to purchase again, despite the cuteness. It’s fruity- mostly pineapple. Cold brewed the last of it, which was the best preparation I tried.

April Sipdown Alphabet Challenge: “U” Tea
This sample was kindly sent by Amandastory
I’ve been saving the rest of this sample since I knew it was my only U tea option for this challenge. I’m drinking this while planning my 2021 Popsugar Reading Challenge booklist. I’m definitely late in starting but to be honest I wasn’t sure I was going to have time this year to participate.
I’m drinking this hot
This tea is definitely sweet and fruity! The pineapple I can specifically pick out and with the sweetness from the marshmallow, it’s really reminding me of Pineapple Fluff. My grandmother used to make that vintage dessert pretty often growing up. I never was a fan but here in tea form, I am! The rest of the ingredients pretty much just blend together. The ginger adds a slight warmth and some flavor to the cup but it’s almost undetectable. This is one that I would probably repurchase if I ever made an order.

AmandaStory sent me a sample of this! Thanks! :)
I made this, took a few sips then walked away from my cup until it had cooled. When hot it was sweet and fruity, mostly pineapple flavor. Now that it has cooled there is a slight tartness to it that seems fitting with the fruit flavors. It’s still mostly pineapple, but I think I get a little lemongrass along with it. It looks like there is a variety of things in the ingredients list, but I’m not able to taste those. This is a fun cup, but not something I’d seek out and buy.

U is for…Unicorn Fluff

I decided to make this hot while I watch Bo Burnham’s Inside and avoiding the work I should be doing.

Hot, I find the citrus comes out more but there is a marshmallow sweetness/fluffiness lingering over top. The ginger is under the citrus as well and so the top and bottom layers sort of converge on the citrus. It seems muddied together a bit which mutes the flavours overall. Basically I don’t mind this but think I prefer it cold.
