It has been a long, long day of driving to the US and back and visiting family. It’s been a low tea day too, and even though it’s only 8pm I’m having a hard time staying awake. Sifting through my secret santa box, the smell of this was so incredible, it had to be my first try.
The jasmine and juicy passion fruit fragrances are strong and complement each other beautifully. Every time a tea smells this good, I have to brace myself to be let down by the flavour.
Steeped for 3min at 94C, the liquor is deep brown and smells just as delicious.
And huzzah! It also tastes amazing. The base mostly tastes like a basic black, with maybe a slight hint of vegetal on the finish suggesting the green. A touch astringent. The jasmine and passion fruit are balanced and distinct. The jasmine and a fruity sweetness that’s almost peachy leads the sip, and then toward the end and into the finish there’s that juicy passion fruit flavour. It leaves the impression of tartness while only being a tiny bit tart.
This is goooooood. So goood! Thank you so much teamaniac! <3
