Uhhhh, I can’t remember who sent me this sample, I’m sorry :(
If it was you, please know I grateful to try it finally!
It had been on my wishlist for a while!
I’m going to be frank, here.
It smells tropical, very fruity… But there’s something else.
I noticed it immediately when sniffing the dry leaves, and was hoping not to taste it.
Alas, I can taste it.
Please don’t be offended by my decision to honestly describe this tea. I need to.
There’s an overwhelming armpit note going on here.
Like, when someone has bad BO and they lift their arms in a crowded subway car* and you catch this horrible whiff of onions….
It smells of it and it tastes like the smell.
So yeah. No idea which ingredient provides this aroma…I have to assume it’s guava because it’s the only thing I don’t recall ever trying. I drank it, but I don’t really wanna drink the other half.
I hope this doesn’t ruin it for you if you started off loving it.
*I don’t even live in a city with a subway system. I live in a town. And I’ve taken a train as a mode of transportation twice in my life, when visiting Toronto and Montreal. I was too nervous that time I went to NY. But that gives me a good reason to visit the big apple again one day. Anyway, I bet it made me sound much cooler when i referenced the subway system like I was actually a frequent train traveller instead of a compact car driver :)

LOL! I’ve never thought of BO smelling like onions before… XD
Hahaha it’s definitely the guava though I never would have thought to describe it as an armpit smell. It’s certainly an acquired taste.
Interesting. When I first tried this, I offered some to my partner. She sniffed the tin and said it smells nasty. I was horrified at her “bad” nose — how could she not get the tropical fruit?!? Up until now I just dismissed that comment, thinking her a clueless newbie. Ha! She might have been right although I still don’t get the smell.
Haha! I agree it’s probably the guava. I love it, but I can see how it could smell that way to some people. :)
