Happy 2021!

This one smells so good! Very fruity and somewhat similar to some of their blends with strawberry, but lighter somehow. I’m not sure I get a lot of rhubarb, more like a strawberry rhubarb mix — which is one of my favourite mixes! The rhubarb is coming through in the subtlest hint of tartness. As the tea cools, the rhubarb comes forward and the strawberry takes more a background note. I had so many homemade strawberry rhubarb pies and jams growing up, so this just brings back good memories. I really love this tea and I would happily keep it in my cupboard!

I checked the tracking on Teavivre and it’s made it to Canada! Yay! I need to get sipping some things down to fit all these teas in my cupboard!

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
