I cold brewed this one for 17 hours. It really tastes just like Tropicalia plus cinnamon and star anise. Neither are in-your-face, but are noticeable yet subtle at the same time. It’s enjoyable as a cold brew.
I also steeped up a normal mug and ever so slightly prefer the hot version. The cinnamon is more apparent than the star anise, whereas they were equal in the cold brew. The hot version is more like a cinnamon piña colada.
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, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.
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).

Glad you liked it as well :)
Gotta remember to avoid this. Thanks for the Tropicalia comparison or I might not have known.
Nxtdoor, I hated Tropicalia but liked this so it may be worth a sample anyways.
