A fun one from the TTB. It smells like grape Jolly Ranchers! Grape is a divisive flavor… I know avowed grape lovers and avowed grape haters. I’m in the middle, leaning toward “love it.”
Anyway, the bag recommends steeping this for 30 seconds with boiling water, which… seems odd? Regardless, I tried it, and it was fine. But then I tried again this morning with cooler water (175˚F) for a slightly longer steep (around a minute), and, whoa, yum! Sweet, smooth, buttery, grape candy deliciousness, with just a hint of bitterness toward the end (but in a good way). I appreciate that the artificial grape flavor is pretty muted; it mostly comes through in the scent.
Enjoying this one quite a lot on this rainy morning.
Flavors: Bitter, Butter, Candy, Grapes, Smooth, Sweet
I’m on the love-it list, but there aren’t many really good grape-ity ones out there! Glad you found one.
Love Japanese grape flavoring in particular!
gmathis: Grape-ity Lupicia Jingle Bells is on its way to you! Hope you love it as much as I do!
You take such good care of me!
