A.C. Perch Advent 2021 Day 8

This one smells very fruity, I’d say a mix of strawberry with papaya and a hint of creaminess. The steeped scent is nearly exactly the same. The taste is much more subtle. This is so smooth (even with a 5-minute steep), the base tase has no astringency and the flavouring adds hints of creaminess and fresh strawberries and perhaps raspberry. There is also meant to have papaya and kiwi, but I don’t get much flavour coming through for either of those.

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).
