drank Fruits d'Alsace by Harney & Sons
2901 tasting notes

First, a very overdue thanks to Lexie Aleah for this sample (shame on me for taking so long)!

Next, it’s just “plum” luscious. The immediate sensory snapshot that accompanied the first sip was one of those dark 19th century still life oil paintings with a fruit bowl, like this one:

As to the flavor (and the scent, which is equally strong), it’s just a sweet and lovely melange of plummy, dark cherry, peachy, grapey fruit punch—no tartness, nothing standing out, including the tea base; everything playing nicely together. This cup is not going to last long.
