This is the first taste of the first tea of the first order I’ve ever done from The Rabbit Hole. So, yknow, no pressure guys! The boyfriend chose this one as he likes Turkish delight and has picked up the habit of wanting to try all my teas before I do. So we’re sharing.
Dry scent: I could clearly smell both the rich chocolate and the rose. The BF said he thought it smelled exactly like Turkish delight.
Steeped smell: Turkish delight!
Taste: lighter than I was expecting. I let it steep for around 8 mins. It does taste like Turkish delight, the rose flavour is prominent. It is very enjoyable. The other half thinks it would be good iced, that will be the next review!
Edit: on reflection, I think it tastes exactly like proper Turkish delight, yknow, the pink blobby stuff from turkey. So 100points for authenticity, but the proper stuff has never been my favourite snack. Will keep having cups though, see if it grows on me!
Sounds absolutely lovely! Hope it brews better next time using more leaf!
I have had a couple of their teas and they were very flavorful! This one sounds good, too. Their chai had really strong, fresh, natural spice flavors.
Keen to hear more opinions on this one (we always strive to get our blends the best they can possibly be).
If you’re in Australia, i’m sending a free sample to the first three people to email me at [email protected] (with “Steepster Freebie” in the subject and your postal address in the body).
Love to hear your thoughts once you’ve tried it.
Cheers
Corinne
PS @ashmanra – glad you’re enjoying our Chai.
Still sad that you don’t ship to the US :(
Awww, sorry Cheryl. Hopefully soon.
