I steeped this one up this evening after a bit of a disaster last time (where I couldn’t even bring myself to create a note).
After Cameron mentioning the orange blossom, it made this tea so much better. I actually really enjoy orange blossom and going in with that in mind made all the difference. I’m still sad there isn’t more of a maple hint, but I enjoyed it fully this evening for the flavours it did have.
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 (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).
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).

I also wanted more maple and desserty things, but if it’s going to be floral I’m at least okay with orange blossom versus some other flowers…
