Thanks for the sample VariaTEA!

I made this in a teapot the first time and I really didn’t get much flavour.

Today I used the rest of the leaf (overleafed) to make a cup. The scent is reminding me of my Nann’s potpourri bowl. The flavour is fairly cinnamon-forward. There’s a spiciness at the back of my mouth and a cinnamon candy heart taste at the end of the sip. The oolong base is nice and mellow and pairs well with the flavouring.

I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to try this one, but won’t need to purchase for my cupboard.

And this is a sipdown! Making room for B&B!

Rofl potpourri… My grandma used to have it too, it was definitely cinnamon-y. Not exactly a quality I would want in a tea, though, LOL!

Bio

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, apricot, 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.

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 and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
