I got a larger portion of this in my advent purchase, and this is a mixed bag to me. There is just a lot going on here and it all becomes a bit muddled. I do taste chocolate and orange and bourbon notes, but there is a floral note at the end that just doesn’t belong in my opinion. The second steep has less of a rosy note, so the tea was slightly redeemed, but I won’t drink this again because of the aftertaste.
Flavors: Alcohol, Bourbon, Chocolate, Orange, Rose
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
